Private Dog Training in Knoxville, TN
Some behaviors need more than a class. They need a personalized plan.
That’s where private training comes in.
Through one-on-one sessions, I’ll help you understand your dog’s behavior, uncover the root cause, and create a clear, step-by-step plan that fits your lifestyle.
Whether you're dealing with reactivity, fear, aggression, or obedience struggles, we’ll work together to restore calm, confidence, and control.
Private training is available in your home or at my facility, so you can choose the format that works best for you.
Common Areas We Can Work On:
Barking, jumping, lunging, or leash pulling
Reactivity toward other dogs or people
Resource guarding
Separation anxiety
Home obedience training for dogs of all ages
Puppy socialization and foundation work
AKC Canine Good Citizen preparation
Service dog task training (TADSAW program)

If you are looking for results, then Manuela and the Canine Clubhaus is the best place for you and your dog! Our dog, Hercules, has had behavior issues since we adopted him two years ago. Recently, his behaviors negatively progressed into regular growling and extreme anxiety anytime we weren't at the house.
Manuela offered in-home training visits and listened to our history with Hercules. She provided many different suggestions and ways we could break the negative behaviors. We learned a lot from Manuela during our time with her. We made the effort and put in the work to apply her suggestions.
We have hit some pretty major milestones with Hercules, including a camping trip with no anxiety. We still have work to do going forward, but we feel like we have the tools and support that we need to be successful. We are grateful for the time and effort that Manuela has put into helping not only Hercules, but us humans as well!

Manuela has been a HUGE help!!! I've always had small dogs, seniors, and special needs dogs. When my last small dog passed away, I decided to pull two large, bonded senior dogs out of a rural shelter a couple of years ago. They were supposed to be frail seniors, estimated at 10-12 years old, and sickly. Imagine my surprise when the vet told me they were probably around 7-8 years old.... and one was a "surprise Catahoula". (I didn't see the speckles til the next morning after we had a wild first night.)
Needless to say, I've had a learning curve with managing two 75 lbs mid-aged dogs, plus one being a working breed.... and trying to turn these yard dogs into civilized pets. We went to Manuela for help because they had become so dog reactive that I was having a difficult time managing them.
Manuela has been immensely helpful with everything from training to "proper equipment".... I would have never thought they needed unique harnesses and leashes to help them learn how to walk in a straight line. I have much more control now and believe we are on the road to success. Great experience!

Manuela is a miracle worker. Our little Panda came to us without any socialization or training. With Manuela’s guidance, she has been transformed into a happy, playful dog. We were very pleased with her training and recommendations.
