Question 1

What if my dog needs to work around other dogs, strangers, or distractions?

Accepted Answer

We have a variety of resources to help your dog work around other dogs, strangers, and distractions. We use our own personal dogs, as well as other client's dogs to use as helpers during lessons.   Our team of trainers are also available to help out as "strangers" during lessons. If we need to work under distractions, we often go to parks, greenways, and pet-friendly stores like Lowes. We also gradually increase the level of distractions as your dog becomes more comfortable and confident.

Question 2

Can I contact my trainer in between lessons if I have questions?

Accepted Answer

Of course! We understand that training can be challenging, and we want to be there for you every step of the way.  We strongly encourage you to reach out to your trainer at any time in between lessons if you have any questions or concerns. And don't forget, if you have good news to share about your dog's progress, we would be thrilled to hear about it and celebrate with you!

Question 3

How often will I need to attend training sessions with my dog?

Accepted Answer

It is important for you to be present at each training session with your dog. We train you to train your dogs, so you are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to continue training at home.  We encourage all family members to be present during training sessions, as this helps maintain consistency and reinforces the training for the dog. However, if certain family members may pose a distraction for you while working with your dog, we recommend that they not be present during the training sessions.

Question 4

How much time and commitment is required for training?

Accepted Answer

We understand that everyone has a different schedule, and we try to be as flexible as possible with your training plan. Most of the training can happen in passive moments throughout the day, such as during walks or meal times.   For active lessons, we recommend that each owner in a lesson program work on their homework for at 15-20 minutes every day to achieve the best results. Our clients with the best results are those who are willing to work with their dogs more and make training a regular part of their routine!

Question 5

What is the scheduling flexibility?

Accepted Answer

We understand that our clients lead busy lives, which is why we are flexible with scheduling training sessions to accommodate your needs. Our trainers work most days of the week, and we can work with you to find a time that fits your schedule.   However, we recommend that clients be flexible with their schedules, as evenings and weekends tend to be in high demand and book up quickly. We want to ensure that you get the most out of your training program, so we encourage you to communicate your scheduling needs to us so we can find a suitable time that works for you.

Question 6

​What is your policy on refunds or guarantees for your training services?

Accepted Answer

Your dog's behavior is extremely complex and guaranteeing results is unethical. Any trainer who gives you a guarantee of specific results is giving you a red flag, not peace of mind. ​ Guaranteeing specific results usually means they are coercing your dog into complying or addressing symptoms of behaviors versus addressing underlying needs and emotions. This is usually done by force, fear, or quick fixes that don’t last. That’s not how we operate.   Here’s what we do guarantee: You will see progress. We promise.  We will treat both you and your dog as individuals and tailor your plan to fit your needs and lifestyle. We will give you the tools and guidance to build better habits, confidence, and manners. We will give you the tools and guidance to correct and prevent problem behaviors.​ We’ll be honest about what’s possible, what it will take, and how to get there. We’ll support you every step of the way. We won't leave you hanging.
