Helping You Make Informed, Confident Training Choices.

1. What age can dog training begin and why is it important?

Training should begin as soon as your puppy comes home. Early boundary setting helps prevent unwanted behaviors. The socialization window (3–12 weeks) is critical, so expose your puppy safely to new sights, sounds, and experiences. After vaccinations, continue with obedience training.

10. Can you help with housebreaking and potty training?

Yes. It’s included in our Puppy Foundations Program. Visit our blog for helpful tips.

2. How can a professional dog trainer help me and my dog?

We address behavior concerns, teach obedience, guide socialization, and strengthen your bond with your dog.

11. What should I expect during a training session?

Expect 45–60 minutes of hands-on coaching, a training log, lesson plans, and access to support. Most programs end with a certificate.

3. What training methods do you use?

We use positive reinforcement and follow Least Intrusive Minimally Aversive (LIMA) guidelines to support your dog’s learning in a humane and effective way.

4. How long does it typically take to train a dog?

Each dog learns differently, so training duration varies. We tailor our programs to your dog’s needs and goals.

5. Can you train any breed of dog?

Yes! We work with all breeds and sizes—every dog is capable of learning.

6. How much does dog training cost?

Pricing varies by location, program type, and training format. Contact us for details specific to your needs.

We work with challenges like fear, anxiety, aggression, reactivity, and excessive barking.

8. Do you offer group classes or one-on-one training sessions?

Yes. We offer private, virtual, and limited group classes. Subscribe for updates on class openings.

9. What is the difference between obedience training and behavior modification?

Obedience teaches manners and commands. Behavior modification addresses deeper emotional or behavioral challenges.

12. Do you offer any guarantees or follow-up support after the training?

While we can't guarantee results due to home consistency, we offer 45 days of trainer support and access to our client Facebook group.

13. What should I do if my dog is fearful or anxious?

We create a personalized plan, starting in neutral environments and progressing at your dog’s comfort level. Ask about our Reactivity Class.

Not at this time.
