Q: What age should I start training my dog?
A: Training can begin as early as 8 weeks old. The earlier you start, the easier it is to instill good habits. We offer puppy training programs designed for early socialization and foundational obedience plus help with potty training!

A: Yes! We have experience with dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. Each training program is tailored to your dog’s unique needs and personality.

Q: How long does dog training take?
A: It depends on your goals and your dog’s learning pace. Basic obedience often takes 2-4 weeks, while more advanced skills or behavior modification may require ongoing sessions.

Q: What kind of behavior problems can you help with?
A: We address a wide range of issues, including barking, leash pulling, aggression, separation anxiety, jumping, reactivity, and more.

Q: Do you use positive reinforcement training?
A: Absolutely! Our training is reward-based but we do also layer over fair and reasonable corrections once the dogs is ready. We are balanced trainers.

Q: Can you help with leash reactivity or aggression?
A: Yes. We specialize in working with reactive and aggressive dogs using customized behavior modification plans focused on safety, desensitization, and confidence-building.

Q: What is off-leash training?
A: Off-leash training teaches your dog to reliably respond to commands even when they’re not on a leash. This includes skills like recall, stay, and safe behavior in open environments.

Q: Is off-leash training safe?
A: Yes, when done properly. We use long leads, controlled environments, and gradual proofing in addition to the ecollar to ensure your dog responds reliably before moving to true off-leash freedom.

Q: Can every dog be trained to be off-leash?
A: Most dogs can achieve reliable off-leash skills with consistent training, but results vary by breed, temperament, and training history. We’ll assess your dog and build a plan that works for them.
