Why should I consider professional dog training for my pet?
Professional dog training classes can help to prevent behavioral problems, such as aggression and destructive chewing, and can teach your dog basic obedience skills that make them a better companion. It also helps to strengthen the bond between you and your pet.
What is our training method?
We emphasize positive reinforcement with a balanced dog training approach. Our goal is to help our clients communicate through the leash first, while applying both classical and operant conditioning.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes, we offer in house financing as well as PayPal credit options to our clients.
How long does it take to train a dog?
The length of time it takes to train a dog varies depending on the dog's age, breed, and temperament, as well as the specific training program being used. Basic obedience training can take several weeks, while more advanced training can take several months.
Can all dogs be trained?
Yes, all dogs can be trained. However, some dogs may require more patience and persistence in dog training classes than others, and certain breeds may require specialized training techniques.
What breeds of dogs do you train?
We train all breeds and all sizes. From Chihuahua to Great Danes, the big and small we take them all!
When is the best time to start training my puppy?
The earlier you start training your puppy, the better. Puppies have a critical socialization period between 3 and 14 weeks of age, during which they are most receptive to learning and new experiences.
Is my dog too old for training?
No, your dog can be trained at any age, provided that you, the owner are willing to learn too!
What kind of behavioral issues can be addressed through professional dog training?
Professional dog training can address a wide range of behavioral issues, including aggression towards people or other dogs, separation anxiety, fear of loud noises or new situations, destructive chewing or digging, excessive barking or whining, and more.
My dog has specific training needs. Can you customize your programs?
Yes, in fact, our programs are completely customized based on your dog's current situation, and your relationship/behavior goals with them. We won't recommend a program or a course of action until we actually get to evaluate your dog in-person and learn more about what is causing the problematic or unwanted behaviors. Every dog is different, therefore every dog should be trained differently!
How do I get the training process started?
The first step is to book your consultation so we can meet you and your dog, to gain a better understanding of your dog’s current problematic behavior and temperament. During this session, we will discuss your goals, our training methods and determine the needs of the owner and dog. We will start working with you and your dog during this meeting and create the perfect training program. These sessions typically take about an hour.
Do you guarantee your training?
We provide unlimited free phone and email support for the life of your dog.
