Frequently asked
Questions
What is involved with a free assessment?
One of our trainers will visit your home to meet you and your dog and discuss any issues you’re facing. We will then demonstrate one of our model dogs so you can see what you can expect after hiring our trainers. From there, we will discuss the various packages we offer and which we feel best suit your (and your dog’s) needs.
How do your services differ from your competitors?
We provide full obedience training that covers all basic commands, both on and off-leash. Our in-home visits target specific issues like counter-surfing, digging, and more. Unlike some trainers, we work with all breeds, including those often considered challenging.
Will I (or my family) be involved with the training?
Yes. You (and anyone in your family who wants to be involved) are integral to your dog getting trained. We need you to practice 5-6 days a week, about 15-20 minutes a day for optimal results.
How often are the training sessions?
Once a week. We come to you (with the silver, gold and platinum packages) once a week to start your dog off, then you come to park sessions which are held once a week.
I just have a few issues with my dog, can we cover those issues only?
To effectively resolve specific issues, we need to start with a solid foundation in obedience. This approach helps you become a confident leader for your dog, which is key to addressing and preventing behavioral problems.
Can you train husbands, wives or kids?
Nope. Those are dangerous grounds to tread upon. We’d much rather train a vicious dog!
Do you train all breeds, shapes and sizes?
We train dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether your dog is a tiny Chihuahua or a large Mastiff, we have the experience and expertise to work with them.
Do you work with aggressive dogs?
Yes. Working with and controlling aggression is one of our specialties.
What kind of service dogs do you train?
We focus on training companion dogs for veterans and individuals with PTSD and other psychological conditions. In addition to service animals, we also train therapy dogs that visit hospitals, nursing homes, and treatment centers.
What kind of temperament does my dog need to have to be service trained?
To be a service dog, your dog needs to have an even temperament. Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, Standard Poodles, Goldendoodles, etc. typically have a great temperament for service work. For some types of service work, your dog will need to have AKC certifications (such as Canine Good Citizen or Community Canine) which we are able to certify. As always, we would be happy to assess your dog’s aptitude for service work for free!
