Private Coaching Sessions

Private Session Dog Training at Nexus K9

Introducing the Signature Coaching Program

Our Signature Coaching Program exists for situations where a Board & Train may not be the best fit, yet training goals still need to be met at a high standard.

This is not a “cheaper alternative” or a casual group class. It is a high-level owner-coaching program designed for clients who are both capable and willing to take an active role in training under professional guidance.

Unlike traditional private lesson programs, our Signature Coaching Program is: 

  • structured 
  • time-bound
  • customized 
  • results-oriented
  • accountability driven
 
Ideal Candidate Snapshot: 
  • Owners who are highly motivated and consistent.
  • Already implementing training at home.
  • Open to being coached and following direction.
  • Willing to make training a daily and long term priority.
  • Able to dedicate time outside of sessions for practice. 
  • Comfortable working within a structured plan.

Because the success of coaching relies on the owner’s execution, the Signature Coaching Program is offered only to clients who demonstrate the dedication and follow-through required for results. 

 

Our Signature Coaching Program is the premier private dog training program in Savannah, GA, designed for dedicated wonders who want real, long-term results not quick fixes. Unlike basic private sessions, this program provides structured, result-driven private coaching with ongoing expert support, ensuring you have the guidance needed to create lasting changes.

Client of Nexus K9

I love Nexus k9! I brought my two dog into training to help with resource guarding and fighting. During their training the staff made sure to send lots of videos and pictures and kept me very updated on what to expect. Now I have my girls back home and they are doing really well!!!! Before training I was so stressed and worried I would be having to rehome one of my girls, now they are doing so well I know I will be able to keep both of my girls and keep them happy, heathy and safe. Additionally, the training the staff gave me as a dog owner really gave me so much more comfortability and knowledge in what to do to keep my girls safe! This training was worth every penny! Thank you Nexus!!!!

Kristi is amazing! She not only helped us with our extremely skittish GSD, but saved my sanity in the process. We had gotten Ghost earlier this year at 8 months old. He had never been socialized around people and that resulted in pacing and excessive fear barking. Never at me, but EVERYONE else including my husband. This went on for months before we found Nexus K9. She helped us change what we were doing in order to change the way he thinks and responds to the unfamiliar. He's a much calmer dog now. I'm thankful for the tools and skills she gave us so we can keep training and building his confidence up. Thanks Kristi! Y'all are the best!!

Words cannot describe how happy we are. She is a completely different dog! She was good before, but after going to Nexus K9, I have cried more than a few times with tears of joy.
