FAQ

What kind of dogs do you train?

We focus primarily on helping owners and their dogs live their best life through obedience and/or behavior modification.

We also offer help with fitness and competition, as well as camping and swimming.

What is your training methodology?

Dogs have various learning styles, just as humans do. We don’t force your dog to fit into a box; with our vast experience we will train your dog with the best style for your dog and your goals.

Equipment used includes three things: leashes, collars, and rewards. The best combination of these is what we use in your program.

Which is better - private lessons or camp?

When we meet for your consultation, we will discuss which is your best option to achieve your goals. The decision will be yours, and is mostly based on how much time you have to dedicate to the training process in an effective, timely manner to achieve the results you desire. Whichever you choose, you will learn to understand, and communicate with, your dog.

Private lessons work well for those with the time and motivation to practice with their dog between lessons. Camps allow your trainer to teach your dog for you, then teach you how to apply her training to your lifestyle.

What happens after camp?

When you pick up your dog, you will have an extensive session targeting your primary goals, and teaching you how to speak your dog’s language. We will then schedule your next two lessons, which will help you learn to team up with your dog even in previously difficult environments.

Is training guaranteed?

There are many factors involved in your dog’s success; the most important one is you, and your willingness to make the changes required to help your dog. As we are unable to control what you do with your training after your program, there can be no guarantee in the traditional sense of retail products. We do however do our part, and give you the tools to be successful for the life of your dog.

Consultations

While not required, consultations are a great optional first step where we can meet face-to-face, and get you started on the best path to success with our private lesson and camp programs. Your trainer will work with your dog, and help with choosing the best program for you.
