Frequently Asked Questions

We use balance training with positive reinforcement.
How long does it typically take to see results?
This is hard to say, as training results vary from dog to owner, especially depending on what the focus of the training lesson is.
Do you offer private sessions or group classes?
Yes we do to both!
Can you help with separation anxiety or aggression?
Yes I specialize in behavioral issues such as these.
At what age should I start training my puppy?
As soon as you get your puppy, with potty training.
Is my dog too old to be trained?
No, there is no such thing! That is a myth 🙂

We go very slowly and take it at a pace that the dog is most responsive to.

Where do the training sessions take place?

Do you offer follow-up support after training is complete?

Will I need to continue training my dog at home?
Yes, there will be individualized homework assignments for you and your dog to continue where we left off.
How do you measure success in training?
Upon completion of the course, the handler or owner will be able to demonstrate what was covered during training with success.
