These customized programs are for dogs, cats, birds and other pets, and their people. Each session lasts approximately one hour. The number of sessions depends on the number of topics to be covered. Call us for a total time and cost estimate for your pet.

In-Home Training takes place at your residence. If problem behavior is happening outside the home (at the vet's, in the park, etc.), some sessions may occur in those locations.
Private Lessons take place at the Happy Yap Doggie Day Camp near downtown Knoxville or in public parks or other dog friendly public places.
