Love the idea of working one-on-one with our KeenDog trainers, but not local to the Greater Charlotte area? Feeling confident training your dog yourself, but need a little help or advice? Want to focus on one specific issue rather than signing up for a comprehensive training program? Virtual lessons may be a great fit for you!
Our virtual lessons are a great way to tap into our knowledge and expertise without committing to a training package. Whether you’re limited by proximity or budget, or if you’re scared of commitment and want to dip your toe in the training pool before diving in, virtual lessons are perfect because they can be whatever you need them to be. You can purchase as many or as few as you want! You can ask any questions you like, focus on any behavioral issues, work on any tricks… we will do our best to drive your progress forward, no matter what that looks like for you and your dog(s)!
Each purchase includes a 1-hour virtual lesson to be conducted via Zoom. Following the lesson, you will receive an email follow up summarizing the lesson as well as providing any relevant resources discussed in the lesson.
In addition to purchasing a lesson here on our website, the lesson itself will need to be scheduled via our booking platform, Booksy! Make sure to select “1 Hour Virtual Session” when booking.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to have on hand for a virtual lesson?
- We recommend having high speed internet, a computer, cell phone, or tablet with a working camera, a quiet spacious area to work, your dog’s food (ideally in a wearable treat pouch), and your dog’s favorite toy.
When / how will I receive login information for the lesson?
- You will receive login information prior to your lesson via email.
What platform is used for virtual lessons?
- By default, we use Zoom. If you would prefer another platform like FaceTime or Google Meet, please let us know when we send your Zoom link and we will do our best to make accommodations if feasible.
What training methods are used?
- We take a modern, balanced approach to training. We do not use a one size fits all approach; we train the dog in front of us, utilizing all four quadrants of operant conditioning.
Is an e-collar included with this virtual lesson?
- No, but we are happy to make recommendations if you’d like to purchase an e-collar yourself to use in training.
Is a training manual included with this virtual lesson?
- No, but we will send an email follow up summarizing the lesson and sharing any relevant resources that would be beneficial based on what was covered in the lesson.
Is access to KeenDog boarding and group classes included with this virtual lesson?
- No, access to KeenDog boarding and group classes is not included with this online course. If you’re local to the Charlotte / Fort Mill area and you’re interested in boarding with our trainers or participating in group classes, we would be happy to do an in-person assessment with you and your dog(s). Please email [email protected] to request an in-person assessment.
