Private Lessons

For Dogs Who Deserve a Little Extra TLC

At All Dog Adventures, we are committed to training both ends of the leash. This means providing you and your dog with the necessary tools and knowledge to ensure your pup reaches their full potential.

We start with a FREE consultation to discuss your goals and get a better understanding of your dog's needs. From there, we offer private lessons in a flexible package format, allowing you to receive a set number of lessons for a fixed rate. You’ll have the freedom to schedule each lesson at a time that works for you, whether you prefer to complete them all in one week or space them out over a longer period. Together, we'll work toward achieving your dog's training goals, one step at a time.

Kaylah Langley

  • Hi there! I'm Kaylah, the lead trainer at ADA. With years of hands-on experience in training dogs and helping pet owners, my passion lies in transforming the bond between dogs and their families into something truly special.

  • I believe every dog is unique, and my approach to training reflects that. Whether your dog needs basic obedience, behavior modification, or specialized training, we're here to tailor our methods to suit your dog’s individual needs.

    I’ve had the pleasure of working with a wide range of breeds and temperaments, and I’m committed to using balanced training techniques that are effective, humane, and fun for both you and your dog. My goal is to create a harmonious relationship where your dog is not just well-behaved but also happy and confident.

    Whether you’re looking for one-on-one training sessions, engaging group classes, or behavior consultations, I am here to support you every step of the way. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend, and helping you achieve your training goals!
