Here's How It Works
1. We Teach Your Dog
One of our nationally certified trainers visits your home 3 times per week to work one-on-one with your dog on a fully customized training & behavior plan.
2. We Teach You
You receive regular private coaching sessions with your trainer, to bring you up to speed on everything your dog is learning!
3. You Become Instinct Alumni
You & your dog get access to free and low-cost alumni-only classes and our alumni-only Facebook group, so you can continue making progress long after your program ends.
Still Deciding?
Here are just a FEW of the reasons Home School is one of our most popular programs:
Fully Customized Curriculum:
Each Home School program is 100% personalized to your training goals and your dog’s unique learning needs. No cookie cutter programs here!
Professional Coaches:
Your dog learns from a professional dog trainer, so progress is super efficient.
A Solid Board & Train Alternative:
Your dog gets to stay at home with you over the course of the program; their training sessions take place in your home and around your neighborhood.

Teaching your dog is only 50% of the equation! Every Home School program includes tons of training and support for you, too, so you know exactly how to follow through with everything your dog has learned.
