FAQ

  • What do I do to get started?

    To inquire about training with us, please read/submit an application so we can learn more about your dog and what goals you have for them. You'll find lots of information about our program availability, etc. on the application itself.

  • What if I don't have my puppy yet?

    That's great; you're planning ahead:-) We do as much as we can before your bundle arrives, then we get going after they get their first set of vaccinations.

  • What is the typical program length?

    The majority of our clients start their journey with a full program of 4-5 weeks. Our absolute minimum requirement is 2 weeks (but they are limited to special cases).

  • How much training will my dog need?

    It varies... but generally, the more, the better. We can really see a difference in the behavior of the dogs that come back for Refresher Training frequently (3-4x/yr) vs. only once every year or two.

  • What should I invest in my dog's training?

    With the 2023 pricing, most new clients spend between $3500-$4500 in the first year, between their full board & train program and subsequent refresher training stays.

  • How long can I get training help?

    We pride ourselves on being a lifelong training partner; we are here to support you for the life of your dog, as long as ABN is in business:-)
