Semi-Private Dog Training Lessons
Want professional instruction at an even lower investment? Our Semi-Private Lessons give you hands-on dog training from a Rob's Dogs Master Trainer in a small class limited to only four dogs. You get the expert guidance, structure and accountability of professional training while keeping your overall training investment lower.
Every class is built around real-world skills you and your dog can start practicing at home right away. Because each class is capped at four pups, your trainer still has the time to watch your dog, answer your questions and help you correct problems as they happen.
That is something a crowded group class or an online video simply cannot offer.
Semi-private training is available to dog owners across Phoenix, Scottsdale, North Scottsdale, Tempe and all of Arizona.
Benefits of Rob's Dogs Semi-Private Lessons
Large group classes and online videos are not the only low-cost ways to train your dog, and they are rarely the most effective. If you are comparing your options, consider these benefits of semi-private lessons with Rob's Dogs:
Professional Training at a Lower Investment
Semi-private lessons give you access to the same Master Trainers and proven training methods Rob's Dogs is known for, at a price that fits more budgets. Our 5-Lesson Course is $500, and our 10-Lesson Course is $850. Choosing the 10-Lesson Course brings your cost down to $85 per lesson, which gives you more training time for your money.
Only Four Dogs Per Class
Big box store classes can pack a room with dogs and owners, leaving the trainer with only a few seconds for each team. Our semi-private classes are limited to only four dogs, so your trainer can give you real feedback, adjust techniques to fit your dog and make sure you understand every command before moving on.
Real-World Practice Around Other Dogs
Many dogs behave perfectly at home and then fall apart the moment another dog walks by. A small class gives your dog the chance to practice focus, impulse control and obedience with controlled distractions in the room. Those are the skills that matter most on walks, at the vet and anywhere else you take your dog.
Learn From Other Owners
In a semi-private class, you also get to watch your trainer work with other dogs and owners. Seeing how different dogs respond to the same techniques helps you understand the "why" behind each exercise, and it can give you fresh ideas for working with your own pup between lessons.
Faster Results Than DIY Dog Training
Trying to train your dog with videos and trial and error can take months, and many owners only see a fraction of the results they want. With a Master Trainer guiding every class, you get clear instruction and immediate correction, so you and your dog make steady progress from the very first lesson.

Semi-Private Training Works for Many Dogs!
Puppies, senior dogs, small and large breeds, purebreds and mixes — semi-private lessons are a great option for a wide variety of dogs. Our small class setting works especially well for dogs learning basic obedience, puppies building good manners and dogs who need practice staying calm and focused around other dogs.
Because semi-private classes include other dogs, some dogs are better served by one-on-one training first. If your dog struggles with aggression or severe reactivity toward other dogs, our Private Lessons offer a more hands-on approach where your trainer can focus entirely on your dog. Not sure which option is right? Our trainers will help you decide during your consultation.
