Frequently asked questions

What training methods do you use?

We use positive reinforcement methods, focusing on rewarding good behavior with treats, praise, or toys. This builds trust and encourages your dog to learn effectively. We also use the correct training tools tailored to your dog’s size, breed, and temperament for safe and effective training.

How long will it take to train my dog?

The timeline depends on your dog’s age, breed, temperament, and the goals. Basic obedience often takes 4-6 weeks of consistent training, but ongoing practice at home is key.

Can older dogs be trained?

Yes, dogs of all ages can learn. Older dogs may take longer to adapt, but with patience and consistency, they can learn new behaviors.

How do you handle difficult behaviors like aggression?

We assess the cause of the behavior and create a customized training plan. Aggression often requires specialized behavior modification techniques and patience.

What should I bring to class?

Please bring:
    •    Your dog on a non-retractable leash.
    •    A collar or harness.
    •    High-value treats or a favorite toy.
    •    Poop bags for clean-up.

What happens if my dog doesn’t progress?

Every dog learns at their own pace. If needed, we’ll adjust the training approach, use different tools, and provide extra support to ensure progress.

Will training completely fix my dog’s behavior?

Training improves behavior significantly, but consistency at home is essential. Regular practice reinforces good habits.

Can the whole family participate?

Absolutely! We encourage all family members to be involved in the training process for consistency and bonding.

How do I enroll my dog?

You can enroll by contacting us via phone or email. We’ll guide you through the process and help you choose the best class or program for your dog.
