What training methods do you use?
We use positive reinforcement techniques to encourage good behavior by rewarding dogs for making the right choices rather than punishing them for mistakes. This approach builds a strong bond between the dog and owner and promotes a love of learning.
At what age can my dog start training?
Puppies can start learning basic commands as early as 8 weeks old. However, for more structured group classes, we recommend waiting until they are at least 4-6 months old to ensure they can handle the duration and focus required.
How long will it take to train my dog?
The duration of training depends on several factors including the dog’s age, temperament, and previous training, as well as the owner’s consistency and commitment. A basic obedience course usually runs for 6-8 weeks, but behavioral modification can take longer.
What is a board and train program?
In our board and train program, your dog stays with us for a period of time, typically 2-4 weeks, receiving intensive training. This option is ideal for addressing specific behavioral issues or for owners who want to jumpstart their dog’s training.
Will I receive updates on my dog's progress during their stay?
Absolutely! We provide regular updates through emails, photos, and videos. Some trainers also offer private sessions during or at the end of the stay to show the progress and teach you how to continue the training at home.
How do you ensure my dog's safety and comfort during their stay?
Dogs are housed in a secure, comfortable environment and receive personalized attention and care. Our facilities are designed to keep your dog safe and stress-free, with daily routines including plenty of exercise, playtime, and rest. Every dog gets a GPS tracker tracking tag to ensure their safety during their stay to ensure their safety.
What are the benefits of group dog training classes?
Group classes offer socialization opportunities with other dogs and people, teaching your dog to listen and follow commands despite distractions. It’s also a great way for owners to learn from others; experiences and questions.
How many dogs are in each class, and how long does each session last?
To ensure personalized attention, we keep our classes small, usually 4-5 dogs per class. Each session lasts about an hour, typically running for 6-8 weeks.
What if my dog is not good with other dogs or people?
For dogs that are reactive or anxious around others, we recommend starting with private sessions to address these issues before joining a group class. This ensures a positive experience for all participants.
Do you offer any follow-up support after training is completed?
Yes, we offer follow-up support via phone or email for any questions or concerns that may arise after training. Additionally, we provide advanced classes and refresher courses for ongoing learning.
What do I need to bring to my dog's training sessions?
Owners should bring a leash, 2-3 cups of treats, and a favorite toy. For group classes, please upload proof of vaccinations to your customer portal for review.
How can I book a session, and what are your payment policies?
You can book a session through our website or by contacting us directly. Payment policies vary, but typically a deposit is required to secure your spot, with the balance due at the start of training. We accept various payment methods, including credit cards and cash and check.
