Frequently Asked Questions

We use every effective tool — slip lead, prong collar, e-collar, treats, food, toys, structure, distance, duration, distraction — humanely, as communication. We explain every choice on the consult call before you commit. If you have hard preferences, we will tell you whether what you want is realistic for your dog's case.

Puppies as early as 8 weeks (Puppy 4-Lesson Package), board-and-train from 4-5 months once core vaccines are in. No upper age limit — we routinely take 8-10 year old dogs into Custom Behavioral programs.

Book a call. The first 30-minute phone call is free. We hear what is going on with your dog, the symptoms, the history, then we recommend the right program. If we proceed to an in-person consult, that runs $195 on-site (credited toward your program if you book).

Yes. Reactivity, aggression, bite history, severe anxiety — these are the cases other trainers turn away and we specialize in. The right program depends on which presentation your dog has and is selected on the consult.

Carefully and on purpose. Every dog your dog is exposed to is a stable helper dog we have screened. We never put aggressive or reactive dogs together hoping they will work it out.

Board & train graduates get in-person refresher sessions — 3 for the 1-week Foundational, 5 for the 2 and 3-week, 7–8 for the 4-week service-dog program. Every client gets lifetime trainer chat access. Outcome guarantee on every program.

Yes, on every program. We will walk through the payment options on the consult call. The goal is to get your dog the right training — financing exists so the right program is not blocked by cash flow.
