FAQ's

What makes our training unique?

     We challenge owners to think differently about their dog by coaching with compassionate training techniques.

     Becoming your dog’s leader and consciously training him from the start will teach him confidence and improve the bond you have together.

     We will teach you positive reinforcement, how best to reward and encourage good behaviors, but also, how to interrupt and curb unwanted behaviors. Best of all, our methods work without scaring your dog or resorting to harsh punishment!

     We focus the training on you — the human. We want you to understand what methods work, what doesn’t (and why) and help you build a relationship with your dog based on mutual understanding, communication, and consequences.

What's the difference between one-on-one and group training?

     One-on- one training is customized to your dog, your home and your family. Group classes are kept small to ensure lots of one-on-one attention however, the group training is a class not a personalized training session.

     If you are working on changing problem behaviors or want more personalized attention, consider In Home Training where you will receive a customized training plan and have the advantage of less distractions.

     If you have a new puppy or just want to get more socialization time, try our group classes, where at least 50% of the time is spent on getting your dog to listen with the distraction of other dogs.

     Our Canine Good Citizen classes are offered in a group setting, but we can schedule a Canine Good Citizen test even for those who haven't attended our group sessions.
