Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our training programs

How long does training take?

The duration of training varies depending on your dog's individual needs, the specific behaviors being addressed, and your consistency with the training. Most of our programs range from 4-8 weeks, with regular sessions and at-home practice.

What age should I start training my dog?

Training can begin as early as 8 weeks for puppies, focusing on socialization and basic manners. For older dogs, it's never too late to start training, though some behaviors may take longer to modify if they've been practiced for years.

What training methods do you use?

We use a balanced approach that is tailored to each dog's individual needs and temperament. Our methods focus on clear communication, consistency, and building a strong relationship between you and your dog. We do not rely on a single method, as we believe that each dog is unique and may respond differently to various techniques.

Do you offer group classes or private training?

We primarily offer private training sessions to ensure that we can focus on your dog's specific needs and provide personalized attention. This allows us to address your dog's unique challenges and work at a pace that is appropriate for them.

How involved will I be in the training process?

Owner involvement is crucial for successful training. We believe that training is as much about teaching the owner as it is about teaching the dog. You will be actively involved in the training sessions and will be given homework to practice between sessions to reinforce what your dog is learning.
