Private Dog Training Sessions

Sometimes we need a coach to help us meet our goals – sometimes our dogs need a private trainer to help them succeed! If you have specific training needs for your pup, can’t attend training classes, or need that extra level of accountability, private dog training is the way to go.

Private Dog Training Sessions are great for basic obedience training all the way to more complex behavior quirks. Our certified trainers can help you with reactivity (to dogs, cars, strangers, and more), basic manners (leash manners, counter surfing, chewing, jumping, and more), puppy training (potty training, crate training, basic obedience, socialization, and more) as well as more unique topics.

Beth (she/her)

- Head Trainer

Beth has been with Metro Dogs since September of 2021 as a daycare handler, and took over as trainer for Trick of the Month and Puppy Pre-K in April of 2022. Since then, she has helped expand the training program, adding day training services, private training, classes, and our Puppy Academy program!
She has spent her entire life surrounded by all kinds of dogs, but most frequently herding breeds(breeds that she now adores!). Growing up in the Chicagoland area and then attending the University of North Dakota for her undergraduate degree, Beth is no stranger to cold, snowy winters!
Beth adores working at Metro Dogs because of how rewarding it is to get to build bonds with each dog that comes in, whether it be in group or training one-on-one. She is currently a Minneapolis resident that lives with her AHS rescue, Pete(an Aussie / Coonhound mix, not-so-surprisingly!) and adores spending most of her free time with him by her side. As of June 2023, Beth earned her CCDT, graduating with distinction from Catch Canine Trainers Academy, and also earned her Family Dog Mediation (FDM) certification in February of 2024. Bethany is CPR and First Aid Certified through ProPetHero.
 

Beth is a Fear Free certified professional.

 

Sydney (she/her)

- Trainer

Sydney has been working with dogs since 2017, but she has always had an affinity for animals for as long as she can remember! She has spent the last three years exclusively pursuing her love for dog training. This transition helped spark her passion for not only teaching, but also helping create a healthy bond between dogs and their pet parent!

Sydney is currently in the process of earning her degree in behavioral psychology and plans to continue her educational journey within the dog training community, as well. Sydney believes that it is critical to keep current on the ever-changing science and techniques used within the dog industry in order to best set pet parents up for success.

Sydney is a Fear Free certified professional.
