Virtual Lessons Training
Sunfire Canines’ Virtual Lessons offer the same professional, customized training experience as our in-person sessions, all from the comfort of your own home. Whether you’re dealing with basic obedience, reactivity, or behavior modification, our expert trainers will guide you through every step of the process with one-on-one attention in a convenient online setting. These virtual lessons allow you to work on your dog’s training without the need for travel, making it ideal for busy schedules, clients located outside our service area, or those who prefer a more flexible option.
With Virtual Lessons, you’ll receive personalized training plans tailored to your dog’s unique needs and behaviors, just as you would in an in-person session. You’ll gain expert advice on issues such as leash walking, barking, crate training, and even advanced skills, all while getting real-time feedback from our trainers. We’ll help you understand your dog’s body language, teach you how to correct unwanted behaviors, and offer tips for reinforcing positive behaviors. All of this is delivered through a live video platform, ensuring that you can ask questions, demonstrate your dog’s progress, and receive instant, professional guidance.
The convenience of virtual training also means that you can complete sessions at a time that fits your schedule, with the added benefit of practicing in your dog’s natural environment, where they may exhibit the very behaviors we’ll be addressing. This approach allows us to create real-world solutions that work directly in your home. At Sunfire Canines, we are committed to providing top-tier education and results, no matter where you are. With our Virtual Lessons, you and your dog will receive the same high-quality training and support needed to achieve lasting success. Let us help you build a well-behaved, confident companion—all from the comfort of your home.

Frequently asked Questions
Before booking a consultation and starting your dog’s training journey, we understand you may have some questions. Below, you’ll find answers to some of our most frequently asked questions to help you prepare. If you have any additional questions or need further clarification, feel free to reach out to us directly.
All new clients are required to book an initial consultation before beginning any training program. This consultation lasts up to two hours and is typically held at your home or a public location of your choice. During this time, we will discuss your training goals, address any questions or concerns, and evaluate your dog’s behavior to develop a personalized training plan. To ensure a smooth start, we ask that your dog is either leashed, crated, or in a separate room upon our arrival. You can also request a complimentary phone call prior to the in-person consultation to discuss preliminary details.
Before your consultation, please ensure that all dogs (with an exception puppies) are up to date on their vaccinations. You will need a 4-6 ft leash (flexible/retractable leashes are not recommended), and we encourage having your dog’s favorite treats readily available for training. Additionally, we recommend wearing comfortable clothes suitable for hands-on training. While note-taking is encouraged, we will also send a detailed follow-up email summarizing the consultation for your convenience.
Our lead trainer, Mackenzie, is highly skilled in a variety of training techniques, including clicker training, front-clip harnesses, and prong collars. However, we prioritize your comfort and will never pressure you to use any tool that makes you uncomfortable. We’ll work with you to find alternatives that suit your dog’s needs. If necessary, we will evaluate whether a muzzle is appropriate to ensure safety for everyone involved. With over 20 years of combined experience, the trainers at Sunfire Canines are here to guide you in selecting the best tools to achieve optimal results tailored to your dog’s unique needs.
