Good to know
Frequently asked questions.
Every dog is different. Your evaluation is the best place to discuss program length, pricing, expectations, and safety.
How old should my dog be?+
Puppy foundation work can begin early and is adjusted for age, vaccination status, and developmental needs. Adult and senior dogs can also learn new skills.
Do you work with all breeds?+
Yes. Programs are based on the individual dog's temperament, behavior, learning history, and the owner's goals—not breed stereotypes.
Can you help with aggression or reactivity?+
Some behavior cases can improve with structured training, but an evaluation is required to assess history, risk, management needs, and whether the case is a good fit.
Will my dog stay trained after the program?+
Long-term results depend on consistency at home. Owner education and a clear maintenance plan are included so you know how to reinforce the training.
How much does training cost?+
Pricing depends on the program, duration, behavior goals, travel, and level of support needed. We provide recommendations and pricing after the evaluation.
