TRAVEL AREA FOR PRIVATE DOG TRAINING SESSIONS

I conduct private dog training in your home, at a dog park, in your neighborhood or wherever the issues occur. Please see the boundaries below for guidance. I am based in Cary, NC, but you can find my travel area below. I don't offer group classes.

Take advantage of all the benefits of a proven dog training professional coming to you for private, customized training. Enjoy flexible scheduling, and work in the location where the problems occur with your dog. Many dog training issues such as territorial aggression, resource guarding, barking, counter surfing, crate training, and issues with children and dogs simply cannot be handled in a class setting. I come to you and work directly with your dog and your family.

Please note: my maximum travel distance is approximately 30 minutes travel time from Bond Park in Cary, NC (click to open map to check your distance from your location).

My boundaries are based on travel times, not distances. For instance, there are some areas of Raleigh and Durham that are not within my travel boundaries. Please fill out my Contact Form and I will get back to you.

Private Dog Training Travel Area

Depending on my current availability and your location, I can service the following areas. Apex, Auburn, Cary, Chapel Hill, Clegg, Durham, Feltonville, Friendship, Genlee, Holland, Holly Springs, Millbrook, Morrisville, Neuse, New Hill, Pittsboro, Raleigh.

Travel Area Limitations

Please note: Depending on my current availability, I will let you know if I can provide private training. If not, I will suggest a Zoom call or you can purchase either my TRIGGERS AND REACTIONS - A GUIDE TO FIXING DOG BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS or KINDLE BOOK - STOP BARKING AND SEPARATION ANXIETY to help you, if appropriate.

Travel is based on travel time, NOT distance. If you can only meet after work and you live in Durham, rush hour traffic might make the travel time more than what I currently have time for, which would put you out of my travel area. If you are unsure, please fill out my form and I will let you know. I provide services to as many clients as my schedule allows.

Sincerely,
Jeff Millman
