FAQ

  • What tools do you use in training?

    We use slip leads, long lines, e-collars, prong collars, elevated dog cots, treats, tugs, flirt poles, treadmills and harnesses. Not all of these tools will be used on every dog and we are always open to whatever tool will work best for your dog.

  • At what age should I start training?

    The moment you bring your puppy or dog home! Starting a solid foundation from day one will create consistency, good habits and reduce and prevent any clean up of poor behavior later down the road. What’s most important is giving you the knowledge and tools to navigate dog ownership. That starts the day you meet your dog. And remember, three to sixteen weeks is prime time for puppies. Don’t miss out!

  • Do you work with aggression and anxiety?

    Yes! Anxiety, reactivity, aggression are all behaviors we address regularly. We will need to diagnose and assess your individual situation and gather more information.

  • What do you offer for puppies?

    All of our services can be customized to meet the needs of your growing puppy. Private sessions, day trainings and group trainings are our favorite options for puppies! Proper socialization and developmentally appropriate training is paramount for maturing into a well-behaved, balanced adult dog.

  • I don’t have a dog yet. Can you help?

    Yes! Booking a consult before you bring home or choose your dog is one of the best things you can do. We can help you have confidence in choosing the appropriate breed and age for you and your lifestyle as well as how to properly introduce a puppy/dog into their new world. The best time to know something is before you need it.

  • How long does training take?

    This will highly depend on your dog and your goals. Our six session package is our most popular option for laying a solid foundation for the typical dog. But remember, training never really stops! You will need to maintain results with lifestyle change, however, we are always here for refreshing training and support.

  • Do you have a referral program?
