At Bullys Behaven, we understand that every dog and household is unique. That’s why we offer customized in-home training options designed to address your dog’s specific behavioral needs in the comfort of your own environment with the flexibility to choose between a single session or a multi-session package.

What to Expect in an In-Home Session

Our in-home sessions are tailored to focus on your dog’s individual challenges, whether it’s aggression, anxiety, reactivity, or basic obedience. We’ll work closely with you to create a training plan that aligns with your dog’s temperament and your goals as an owner. Whether you’re struggling with leash reactivity, fear-based behavior, or aggression toward other pets or people, we’ll guide you through practical exercises that lead to lasting improvement.

Training with Real-Life Situations

Because training is most effective in the environment where behavior issues actually occur, in-home sessions give us the opportunity to address challenges in real-time. Whether it's barking at guests, door reactivity, or boundary-setting inside the home, we can work directly within the spaces where these behaviors typically arise. By observing your dog in their home environment, we’re able to provide focused strategies that integrate seamlessly into your daily routine.

Reacting to Reactivity

For dogs who are reactive around other dogs, we offer in-home-style sessions at our Jackson location. This setup allows us to work in a safe, controlled space with real-world distractions while still keeping your dog comfortable.

We own and work with six balanced, non-reactive dogs specifically selected for their calm temperaments. These dogs play a vital role in our reactivity training, helping your dog build tolerance and improve behavior through structured exposure. This approach is ideal for dogs that need socialization, impulse control, or help remaining calm in the presence of other dogs.

Single Session or Training Package - You Choose

• Single Sessions: Perfect for targeted help with a specific behavior, or as a follow-up to a previous program.
• 3-Session Package: Ideal for clients who want to focus on one or two key issues over multiple visits.
• 5-Session Package: Great for building and reinforcing new behaviors over time, with consistent support and accountability.

Each session includes hands-on coaching, clear take-home strategies, and expert feedback tailored to your dog.

Why In-Home Sessions Work

Our in-home sessions go beyond basic obedience. We teach you how to communicate effectively with your dog in a way that builds trust, respect, and calm. This personalized, practical training ensures you can respond to behavior challenges confidently and consistently. Whether you’re looking to prevent future issues or resolve long-standing concerns, we’ll help you create lasting results that work in real life.

FAQs: In-Home and Single Session Training

• How do I know if I need a single session or a package?
  If you're looking to address one specific issue or follow up after a previous program, a single session may be enough. For more complex or ongoing challenges, we recommend a 3- or 5-session package.
• Do you come to my home, or do I come to you?
  We offer both options. Most sessions take place in your home. For reactivity training or dogs needing exposure to other dogs, we may recommend sessions at our Jackson, NJ location.
• Do you use your own dogs for reactivity work?
  Yes. We own six balanced, non-reactive dogs that assist in helping reactive dogs build tolerance and remain calm during social exposure training.
• Are these sessions appropriate for aggressive dogs?
  Absolutely. We specialize in working with aggression and reactivity. Our sessions are designed to safely address these behaviors and help you manage them confidently.
• How far do you travel for in-home sessions?
  We serve clients throughout New Jersey, New York and areas of Pennsylvania. We’re based in Jackson, NJ, just 10 minutes off Route 70, and can discuss travel options during your consultation.
