Private Dog Training Lessons in Boone & Banner Elk, North Carolina
When you chose your dog, you pictured walks on the Greenway, coffee with friends, hosting cookouts, and enjoying a few mountain hikes together.
With cool summers, countless parks, and pet-friendly patios at nearly every restaurant, the possibilites with your dog are endless!
What you DIDN’T picture was feeling embarrassed and anxious about your dog’s behaviors.
If your dog is…
- dragging you down the sidewalk
- barking at every dog that passes by
- jumping on all your loved ones
- unable to settle down in new situations
YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
We help people just like you enjoy life with their dogs every day. We offer private lessons in the comfort of your home, as well as in our new training facility located in the heart of Boone, NC.
Life-Long Skills in Minutes a Day
Our private training programs are designed to simplify your life and give you back your confidence and peace of mind.
Your trainer will be with you every step of the way, and will help you learn how to keep the training going, even after the last lesson.
Positive Partners Dog Training, LLC is a judgment-free zone. We’ll meet you where you are, and help you get to where you want to be!
Your Dog Training Journey Starts Here
All of our private dog training programs begin with a Foundations Lesson. This in-depth lesson is not only a chance to get to know your dog trainer, but also the first steps in getting to know your dog better and understanding how to train them and get back to an enjoyable and happy life together.
What to expect:
- 90-minute lesson in the comfort of your home
- Tweak your routines and rules
- Discuss your goals and address your struggles and fears
- Learn how to “speak dog”
- Get a behind-the-scenes look at HOW we’ll be training your dog, and WHY we’ll be training them that way
- Teach your dog the Foundation Skills needed to excel with ANY training goals or problems
- Email support before and after your lesson
After that first lesson together, you’ll already feel more connected to your dog and have the skills and information you need to jump-start your training journey.
The Foundations Lesson and all pre-lesson support is $275. This fee will be applied to the total cost of your program.
From there, we’ll select the perfect program to help you and your dog meet all your training goals.

We just finished our last observation for our Therapy Dog certification and I could not be happier with everything Brianne has done for us! We started with a bouncy, energetic puppy who has now turned into a very calm dog when he needs to be. We could not have done this without Brianne’s great training!
We always have fun learning new things and the community of responsible dog owners I have found through classes is truly wonderful. We have had a private lesson and we will forever be using the knowledge we have gained and continue to learn!
