Private Lesson Programs

Customized One-On-One Coaching For Dog Owners

Right now your dog might be pulling on the leash, causing chaos at the vet, stealing items off your counters and refusing to give them back, ignoring you when you’re calling them (of course when you’re already late for work), jumping on everyone who walks through the door, mouthing your arms and feet, or even barking and lunging at other dogs on walks—completely overreacting and leaving you frustrated, stressed out, and at your wits’ end.

It doesn’t have to stay this way, and you don’t have to figure it out on your own. Our personalized dog training lessons in San Antonio and Lytle are designed to give you clarity, confidence, and lasting results. Whether your goals are obedience training for better manners at home, puppy training to start things off right, behavior modification for reactive dog issues, or even service dog training, each lesson is tailored to meet your and your dog’s specific needs. Together, we’ll take it step by step.

Why Choose Private Lessons?

Imagine the relief of walking into your home without being greeted by barking, jumping, or chaos. Picture actually looking forward to strolling through the neighborhood without your dog dragging you down the street or barking and lunging at everyone. Think about finally being able to invite guests over without embarrassment or having to lock your dog away, or eating dinner without worrying about food stealing. With Private Lessons, that transformation is possible.

Our goal is to provide effective, supportive training that aligns with your life and your dog’s needs.

Every Team Dog program is built around our Team Building System™ — a training and long-term success system developed to help dogs and their owners function successfully together in everyday life.

We identify and evaluate what you and your dog need, build the training around your goals and lifestyle, and focus on practical skills that can be used where they actually matter.

And because successful training doesn’t end with the last lesson, we teach you how to apply and maintain what you’ve learned and provide continued opportunities to practice and get support.

The goal isn’t simply a trained dog. It’s a successful team.

Available at home or at the facility starting at $750*

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the privileged of using Yasmin twice now for training. Our first dog was a rescue, and Yasmin changed this unsure pet into a true family companion. Currently we have a 4-month-old puppy, and we needed all the help we could get to calm her down. Yasmin was the answer again.  Yasmin is patient, knowledgeable, gentle, through and makes you feel so confident. You can do this!! Her program really has turned our little pup into one who now wants to learn more and more.
Thank you to Yasmin! We strongly recommend you and your program! You are our "dog whisper" and we appreciate your dedication and professionalism. Thankyou Carol and Jack

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After contacting Yasmin she was quick to schedule our first meeting to see how she could help. She understood our sense of urgency given the behavioral issues we were experiencing with our new dog. She gave us the tools, guidance, and knowledge to work with his anxiety and aggression. It was a  first for our family to deal with those types of issues having many dogs with calmer behaviors prior. He was in need of the structure, discipline and lacked direction and confidence. We followed her recommended progam and participated with in home lessons as well as public sessions. We highly recommend and wish we had contacted her sooner. We are definitely eager to keep up the momentum with her group lessons.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Misha and I LOVE Yasmin!! She really changed our relationship.  Misha is a rescue that was always a little nervous and territorial with me and our home but whose behavior worsened significantly when my older dog passed away a few months ago.  Her behavior was so bad, I was scared to have people over or take her on walks or to public places.  Yasmin gave us private lessons and in all honesty it was me, not Misha, Yasmin trained.  She taught me how to handle Misha, and Misha's behavior improved so much.  Now, we go on daily walks, have people over, and can spend time in parks again.  I am so grateful for Yasmin's guidance and patience with us and strongly recommend you give her a call if you are struggling with your dog's behavior. Thank you, Yasmin!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Yasmin went above and beyond to train our dog after I injured my knee and had to have knee reconstruction surgery. She worked specifically to meet our needs and ensure our Rosie could walk safely on a leash, have appropriate manners, and that she was happy and successful. Yasmin worked around my surgery schedule to accommodate Rosie’s training and worked on the specific skills we needed implemented. 110% recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I hired Yasmin to help with my puppy and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the first session she was professional, calm, and really good at reading both the dog and the owner.
She explained everything in a way that actually made sense and gave me simple, consistent steps to follow at home. My puppy went from being all over the place to listening, walking better on leash, and settling down much more easily. What I appreciated most is that she never used harsh methods — just clear structure, timing, and a lot of patience.
She also made me feel supported, not judged. Puppy training can be overwhelming, and she made it feel manageable. If you’re looking for a trainer who is knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely invested in helping your puppy succeed, I highly recommend her.
Happy client of Yasmin

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend this Yasmin as a dog trainer enough! When I reached out to her, I was honestly at the point where I thought I might have to give up on Yowac because I was struggling so much with getting her to get along with Willy. I felt like I had tried everything and wasn't sure there was going to be a solution.

Working with her completely changed that. She took the time to understand Yowac behavior, the relationship between Yowac and Willy, and what we needed to do differently. She was patient, knowledgeable, supportive, and gave me practical techniques that I could actually use at home.

The improvement in Yowac  has been incredible. She has made so much progress, and the relationship between Yowac and Willy iis completely different from where we started. I went from feeling like I was running out of options to finally feeling confident and hopeful about having them together.

What I appreciate most is that she didn't just train my dog, she taught me how to understand her better and gave me the tools and confidence to continue working with her.

I am extremely grateful for everything she has done for Yowac, willy, and me. If you're struggling with your dog's behavior and feel like you've tried everything, I highly recommend giving her a chance. The difference she made in our home has been amazing, and I couldn't be happier with the results. ❤️🐾

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a wonderful experience working with Yasmin. She was great at communicating, arriving on time at my home, and focusing on my fut baby. Sh we was doing more than just training the basics but incorporating training to fit my lifestyle and the commands I would need. She was patient and great at explaining techniques to me and building that bond with my fur baby. In just two weeks I saw drastic results. Highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I adopted a rescue from the humane society and quickly realized he was unlike any dog I’d owned before. Despite having plenty of experience with dogs, this little guy was exceptionally stubborn and mischievous, and I knew I needed professional guidance.
Working with Yasmin through individual training sessions was the best decision I could have made. From our very first session, I knew I was in the right hands. Her training methods are effective, thoughtful, and truly work.
Thanks to Yasmin's expertise and unwavering support, my dog has come such a long way. She is genuinely passionate about what she does and cares deeply about helping every dog succeed and reach their full potential. I am forever appreciative and cannot recommend her enough!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I took my 1 1/2 year old black Lab Charlie to Yasmin for her 3 week board and train program.  Before I took him for training Charlie was a wild child.  He is very friendly but can be very unruly as well.  He was horrible on the leash, went insane when anyone came to my house and jumped on most people he met either in the house or out on our walks. Yasmin is a miracle worker!  When I picked him up and we had our training session I was truly amazed.  Now he walks perfectly on the leash, he stays when told to do so and he comes immediately when I call him even outside and around people.  He is very good about placing on his bed until I release him and he is also good with his door manners and no longer bolts out the door when I open it.
Yasmin kept me posted on his progress while he was away and sent many pictures and videos of his training.  He was sitting and staying on the first day with her!  Charlie and I are keeping up with his training many times per day and he is continuing to do very well.  Taking Charlie to Yasmin was one of the best investments I have ever made.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When I adopted my puppy from the shelter, she was extremely reactive toward both people and other animals. I reached a point where I genuinely felt hopeless and feared her aggression would eventually lead to an unfortunate outcome. Hiring Yasmin was one of the best decisions I could have made.

From our very first session, Yasmin was knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly understanding. She took the time to listen to my frustrations without judgment and helped me realize how my own reactions were affecting my dog's behavior. More importantly, she explained canine body language and behavior in a way that was easy to understand, teaching me how to recognize early warning signs and respond with confidence instead of fear.

The results exceeded my expectations. During our 9-week training program, Yasmin didn't just train my dog—she trained me to become a better handler. By the third week, my puppy was already showing significant improvement, and my confidence in her continued to grow. For the first time, I truly believed she could thrive in our multi-pet household.

Yasmin is also extremely flexible and accommodating. Whenever we needed to adjust our schedule, she worked with us to find a time and place that fit our busy lives. We recently completed the 9-week program and have already enrolled in her 6-month group training because my dog has absolutely loved working with her and is ready for the next step in her journey.

I highly recommend Yasmin to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated dog trainer. She has years of experience, a remarkable understanding of canine behavior, and a genuine passion for helping both dogs and their owners succeed. She doesn't just train dogs—she gives owners the knowledge and confidence to build a stronger, lasting relationship with them.
