Our availability is subject to a number of factors (including going through our screening process - which typically takes about 2-3 weeks) and therefore fluctuates... we do our best to accommodate specific dates if requested but also try to get you in ASAP (first come, first served).

We are always training with every interaction, but we also do formal training sessions, totaling about 1 hour every day of their program.

This is one of the rare things we actually have in common with traditional programs, and for good reason... it could be confusing (or even distressing) for dogs to see their owners/parents during training. We take advantage of today's technology by posting pictures and videos on social media, and by emailing progress reports.

Most dogs are let out every 2-3 hours unless they are in potty training and need more frequent breaks. This averages to be approximately 6-8 times per day. The only exception to this routine are holidays and/or special occasions, where we try to limit to 5-6 hours at a time.

We work hard throughout the entire process to thoroughly educate you about what to do (and what not to do) when your dog comes home from training. It'll be up to you to practice and continue your learning alongside your dog in order to maintain training progress.

We are a professional member of the APDT and we pledged to abide by their ethics statement, which reads: “Members will refrain from giving guarantees regarding the outcome of training because there is no sure way to guarantee the cooperation and performance of all parties involved and because the knowledge of animal behavior is incomplete.”

No. Dogs are living beings that make their own choices... it's our job to teach them that it's more rewarding to make the 'right' choices. Because we primarily use treat-training (rather than an e-collar), you will not have your dog on a remote control; we help you build a better relationship with your dog so they want to work with you.

While we don't offer payment plans, we do accept all major forms, such as credit cards, etc. In addition, the way we require the total to be paid [deposit to book, 50% upfront, remaining balance at graduation] breaks it up a bit for you.

When your dog graduates the program, the work is not done... because most people don't yet have high-level handling skills, it will take some time, practice, and maybe a little troubleshooting as adjustments are made. It's normal for a little progress to be lost in transition, so we provide you with a recommended plan to return for Refresher Training.
