Why Private Training

Get Generic Results.

Group classes put 10 different dogs with 10 different problems in the same room and give them all the same curriculum. Private training does the opposite. Every session is built around your dog's specific behavior, your household's specific dynamics, and the real environments where the training needs to hold.

At Pack Protocol, private in-home dog training in Miami means we come to you. We work in your home, on your street, in your neighborhood. The training happens where the behavior happens — not in a sterile training room where your dog performs perfectly and then falls apart the moment you get home.

Founder Kristopher Fonte brings over 20 years of professional experience and a structured methodology to every session. You're not working with a hobbyist. You're working with someone who has dedicated their career to understanding dogs and the owners who live with them.

You learn as much as your dog does. By the end of the program, you have the tools, the language, and the confidence to maintain everything your dog has learned.

Tailored to Your Dog

Every session addresses your dog's specific behavior issues, not a predetermined curriculum. What needs to be fixed gets fixed.

Trained in Your Environment

We work in your home, your yard, your neighborhood. Training where the behavior happens means the results hold where they need to.

You Learn the System

You're part of every session. You learn the commands, the markers, and the handling techniques so you can maintain the training long after we're done.

Flexible Scheduling

Sessions fit your schedule. Morning, evening, weekdays or weekends. We work around your life, not the other way around.

What We Work On

Every Behavior.
Every Breed.

Basic Obedience

Sit, down, stay, recall, heel. The foundation commands every dog needs, trained to be reliable in real life not just in practice.

Leash Pulling

Loose leash walking through Miami neighborhoods, parks, and sidewalks. No more getting dragged. No more stressful walks.

Jumping and Greeting

Calm greetings with guests, family, and strangers. Jumping is one of the most common complaints and one of the fastest to fix with the right approach.

Door Manners

Staying calm at the door, not bolting out, and greeting guests appropriately. Essential for Miami households with frequent visitors.

Place Command

Sending your dog to a designated spot and having them stay calmly. One of the most useful commands for daily household management.

Recall

Coming when called, reliably. The most important safety command your dog will ever learn. We build it to hold even with distractions.

Reactivity

Barking and lunging at other dogs or people on leash. We build impulse control and structured responses to triggers.

General Behavior

Counter surfing, excessive barking, chewing, separation anxiety. We address the behavior that's making life difficult in your specific household.

Who It's For

Private Training Is
Right For You If...

You Want to Be Involved

Private sessions are hands-on. You work with your dog every session with expert guidance. If you want to understand the system and build the relationship yourself, private training is the right fit.

Your Dog Has Specific Issues

A dog that pulls on leash, jumps on guests, or ignores you in the house doesn't need a generic class. Private training targets exactly what's going wrong in your specific environment.

You Have a Busy Schedule

Sessions come to you and fit your schedule. No driving to a facility. No fixed class times. Private training works around your life in Miami.

You Have a New Dog or Puppy

Starting right with a new dog or puppy sets the foundation for everything that follows. Private training from day one prevents the problems that cost more to fix later.

If you need faster results or have a dog with serious behavioral issues, board and train may be a better fit. We'll tell you honestly during the free consultation.

"Kris came to our home in Coral Gables and worked with our Labrador for six sessions. The difference is unreal. He doesn't pull on leash anymore, comes when called every time, and actually listens in the house. Worth every penny."

"The fact that he came to our home made all the difference. My dog behaved differently in our house than he did anywhere else. Training at home fixed the actual problem. I can't recommend Pack Protocol enough."

FAQ

Private Training
Questions.

Do you come to my home for dog training in Miami?

Yes. Pack Protocol offers in-home private dog training throughout Miami-Dade and South Florida. We come to your home so training happens in the real environment where your dog's behavior needs to hold.

How many private sessions will my dog need?

It depends on your dog's behavior and your goals. Most programs run between 4 and 8 sessions. We give you a clear timeline and expectations after the free consultation.

What's the difference between private training and board and train?

Private training is hands-on and owner-involved. You work with your dog in every session. Board and train delivers faster results through daily immersive training while your dog stays with us. For serious behavior issues, board and train is typically more effective. For owners who want to be involved and have a dog with manageable issues, private training is a great fit.

How much does private dog training cost in Miami?

Pack Protocol's private training programs start at $1,750. Final pricing is confirmed after the free consultation based on your dog's needs and program length.
