Welcome to Homeschool
Congratulations on choosing to build a better relationship with your dog! We couldn't be more excited to work with you. To make the most of your first session, please review this page and let us know if you have any questions.
What you need to prepare:
A quick checklist to make the most of your first live training session.
1. Set up your training area
Ensure you know where you'll be training. Set up space so that your pup has some room to roam and the camera (whether a computer, tablet, or phone) can see the big picture.
2. Get your treats ready
Every session relies on some good treats. Have some small kibble, training treats, and also high-value treats (like cheese, turkey, or chicken) at the ready.
3. Test a video call
We use Zoom to handle each video call, whether from your tablet or phone. Joining is easy, but we recommend giving it a try first if you've never used it before.

“Homeschool is professional in every way and the teachers are fabulous! But by far the most helpful are the weekly lessons and 15 minute check-ins. It’s really me that they’re teaching so I can then teach/train my dog. Bruno is happier and more relaxed since I signed up for Homeschool. I really liked the zoom lessons, too. It was simple and in-person truly wasn’t necessary. I highly recommend Homeschool!"

"When we started, she was having accidents and destroying her crate all the time. And now she’s completely fine and is very comfortable in her space. I’m constantly impressed by how much she’ll stay and wait for us. She’s way better on a leash. I’m very happy with what we learned."

"The training that Choopie and I received is phenomenal! Our trainer, Shannen, was so kind, so understanding, and so professional! So extremely helpful! I didn't have 1 single doubt that this is where we should get our training from! 10/10 absolutely recommend, I've already starting recommending them to my friends, family, and a couple strangers!"

Homeschool by LAY LO has TRULY changed my life! This was my very first time owning a puppy on my own and I had no idea what I was doing. Well 8 weeks later I’m happy to say my dog is fully crate trained! Our trainer was so patient with us and provided all the support I needed to help my dog and I get through this process. I recommend this program to anyone interested in getting their pup trained!!

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Science has proven that the best environment for your pup to learn is
without distractions. Training outside of the home brings not only new
smells but new people and other dogs to get excited about which breaks
your dog’s focus and slows down the behavior modification process.
That’s why we only offer virtual training at home so you and your pup
can make progress together ASAP. -
With Homeschool, YOU become the expert in training your dog throughout the program and beyond. It takes 1,000 repetitions to shape a dog’s behavior – which is why outside of our 45-min, 1:1 video sessions we check-in daily via text and are available for any questions so you can get faster results.
-
Virtual training is quickly becoming the most effective training method to get long-term results. Through weekly 1:1 video calls with your
dedicated trainer, we demonstrate the training techniques and watch as
you practice in real time with your pup. After each call, we'll provide
homework and video lessons to track your progress. Still curious? Watch a sample virtual training lesson here >
