Frequently asked questions

Puppies need lots of structure and develop rapidly so we recommend you start as soon as you get your new puppy arrives but the only perfect time is the time when you are ready to invest in your puppy.

The Puppy Good Manners Package covers everything from Potty Training, Crate Training, Puppy Biting, Jumping, Loose Leash Walking, Basic Obedience, Public Manner and much more.

Although we sanitize our training space frequently (especially for puppies), virtual sessions are available and are a great way to get a jump start on your first few sessions to ensure the health and safety of your unvaccinated puppy.

Training is a lifestyle no matter your the age of your puppy. We offer a wide variety of continuing training opportunities to advance your puppies skills and provide enrichment such as Emotional Support Animal (ESA), Agility, Scent Work, Urban Manners - Canine Good Citizen (CGC), and more.

Reactivity (Barking, Lunging, Pulling on the leash) is part of a broken relationship between dog and handler. Many of these challenges can start to be addressed during Basic Obedience Packages, however dogs that need more time can always add additional sessions, book one of our Behavior Modification Packages, or even join our Doggie Bootcamp Program.

Using Square Booking Sites allows you to book days and times that work best for your schedule to set you up for the best possible long term success. As a busy business owner, wife and mom, I know all too well that it can be difficult to add one more weekly task to the calendar. It is more important that you are able to put quality repetitions in with your dog over time than it is to check a weekly appointment box that doesn't provide your desired results or overall success.

Doggie Bootcamp is a Live-In Training Program for dogs who need more than is available at home. The term 'more' is different for everyone. It might be that your dog needs a lot more time and repetition to be successful, but a busy work or home life schedule simply doesn't allow any 'more' than you already offer. It might mean that you have the time, but your dog needs 'more' professional skill than you currently can offer. 'More' might also mean that you may have some physical limitations that prevent you from overcoming training obstacles without becoming injured.

Doggie Bootcamp is equivalent to months of training completed in just a few short weeks. The duration of each Doggie Bootcamp is determined by the needs of you the owner, your dog, and the training goals you set. My most popular Bootcamp is 3 Weeks because it allows your dog to learn, practice, and work towards cementing (automatic behaviors) before going home.

Doggie Bootcamp is a full emersion learning experience for your dog. They quickly learn and master basic obedience commands such as sit, down, heel, come, stay, load up, wait at the door, as well crate training and potty training if applicable. In addition to basic obedience your dog will learn how to relax and behave in and around your home as well as in public. Dogs who complete our Doggie Bootcamp programs can test to receive their AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certificate.

Our unique approach to Doggie Bootcamp puts a strong emphasis on owner education and support. Each Bootcamp includes private sessions, an invitation to join our weekly advanced group training course, and discounts on equipment, future workshops and enrichment programs. It is our firm belief that it is crucial that you and your dog learn to communicate effectively in order to build a relationship that provides trust and accountability.
