Home School Training

Intensive training in the comfort of your own home. Enroll below!

Want your dog to get a BIG training boost, without having to fit it all into your already-busy schedule? Our Home School program makes it easy — we train your dog for you, then teach you how to maintain and build on their new skills, all from the comfort of home!

Training That Fits Into Your Life

Life is busy — but that shouldn’t stop you and your dog from building a joyful life together. With Instinct Portland’s Home School programs, our trainers come to your home multiple times per week to work directly with your dog, making the most of their learning time while fitting training into your life seamlessly.

Home School is perfect for working on:

  • Puppy development (socialization, leash walking, basic manners)
  • Life skills like recall, settling, and polite greetings
  • Building comfort with confinement or being "home alone"
  • Body awareness and handling comfort
  • Confidence building for shy or fearful dogs
  • Early intervention for mild behavior issues (separation, mild fear/anxiety)

Note: Home School programs are not designed to address serious aggression, reactivity, or complex anxiety cases.

“My whole family and I are so grateful to Kaysha – as a result of her training, my pups are calmer, happier, and more adaptable to new situations. Her joy and care for dogs is evident, and I love seeing how happy my pups are when they see her. I cannot recommend her highly enough!”
