TRAINING FAQs

Q: How does your private training work?

A: We start with an evaluation to understand your needs, often this is the first session.  A plan is devised and approved by the client and we start from there.  Sessions are either; on site at our facility, at your home, or in specific locations (parks, walks, stores, Veterinarian office).  Most clients go through 4-6 sessions and by the end of that time you are fully aware of your dogs' needs and how to fulfill them, plus whatever training requirements (behaviors) you opted for.   

Q: What kind of training methods do you use?

A: Whatever fits you and your dogs' needs.  A good trainer understands how to use a multitude of tools and techniques to achieve success.  An excellent trainer can choose the best path based off of knowledge we gain in our evaluation.

Balance is key.  Clear communication of what is correct and incorrect in our minds.  

I train my clients to GUIDE their dog through our lives via training exercises.
