FAQs
-
We start with a paid, virtual consultation that lasts between 60 and 90 minutes. This allows us to discuss your goals in depth and create your training plan. The first meeting will take place without your dog, allowing us (the humans) to focus fully on creating a successful training plan.
-
Individual lessons are billed hourly upon lesson completion (due same day).
Our home-based board train capacity is limited and demand is high. A nonrefundable deposit is required to secure your board train dates. This deposit is based on the overall length of your booking request. Please contact us for details and accurate pricing.
-
Our board train programs range from 2 weeks to several months depending on the age of the dog and the program goals. Most programs for pet puppies or dogs are 3-4 weeks while service dogs or more refractory cases can vary greatly based on the program’s goals and objectives.
-
Dogs of all ages are accepted. Puppies should be at least 8 weeks of age. Exceptions are made for puppies that have been rescued at under 8 weeks. Contact us for more details.
-
No. All breeds are welcome. We do require an initial session in order to meet/greet every dog and to determine if a board train program would be the right fit for their needs/goals.
-
Yes. We offer both private in-person sessions as well as board training options for aggression/reactivity, however an in person evaluation is required first to determine which program format is best suited for their needs.
-
Private sessions take place in your home or in locations that are suited for your specific training goals. Ex. Leash walking or off leash manners may begin in your yard or home but may also be practiced in neighborhoods, parks, public spaces, etc.
-
Our board train program takes place in our trainer’s home. Your dog will not spend all day in a noisy kennel waiting for their turn out. They will be incorporated into the daily household routine with structured supervision, play, training and rest breaks built in. For safety, dogs are crated overnight, for meals and are never left out unsupervised.
