Chicago In-Home Day Training: The Private Day Program
The Private Day Program is in-home day training, which means Jasmine comes to your house for one-hour sessions, five days a week, over four weeks. Each week includes four sessions with Jasmine working with your dog directly, plus one coaching session with you. With this program, your dog sleeps at home every night, so you get to enjoy them and see their skills develop over the course of the program.
Dogs generalize poorly. A dog who will hold a Sit Maintain in a training facility frequently cannot hold it in their own kitchen because the behavior was never trained around the distractions at home. Training in your home solves this problem. Jasmine works your dog in the same rooms, hallway, sidewalk, and parkway you use every day, with the same neighbors, dogs, and delivery drivers already in the picture.
What’s Included
Complimentary Consultation
Before the first week we talk through what your dog is doing now, what you want instead, and how much practice your household can realistically fit in. Jasmine will outline the priorities for the four weeks based on that conversation. A reactive puppy and a five-year-old dog who cannot settle need different plans.
Twenty One-Hour Sessions
Five sessions per week for four weeks. Alongside your specific goals, the program covers leash skills, recall, Sit and Down Maintain, greetings at the door, and settling on cue. Because the work happens in your home, Jasmine can train the behaviors that only appear there: barking at the mail carrier, guarding a spot on the couch, reaction to the doorbell.
One Session Each Week With You
Jasmine will demonstrate what she has been working on, and coach you to work with your pup yourself. You will learn the criteria she is reinforcing and the words the program runs on, including “Yes” for food is coming, “Okay” as the release, and “Hey” as the interruption. These sessions are critical to help your dog transfer their skills from Jasmine to you.
Written Notes After Every Session
You get a summary covering what Jasmine worked on, how your dog did, and what to practice before the next visit, with specific duration and repetition targets rather than instructions to practice more. Lots of adorable photos included!
Access During the Program
Email, text, or call Jasmine with questions across the four weeks.
Tune-Up Blocks
For the year following your program, you can book additional five-day blocks at the reduced rate of $550. Useful for adolescent regressions, life changes, or just keeping skills sharp.
