Will dog training change my dog's personality?

Just like humans, dogs attitude and personality may change as new rules, boundaries, and routines are put in place. But your dog will adjust and their personalities will come back.

If you're the one training my dog, will he/she listen to me after he is trained?

Unlike other trainers we focus on teaching you (yes, you, the human) the right information, tools, and techniques to make sure that your dog retains its behaviors and trust you long after we are gone. Training you to become the calm and confident leader your dog needs is our number one priority. We aren't "wizards" or "magicians" - we are your guide to living a better life with your furry family member.

How long will it take to train my dog?

It takes different amounts of time to learn each new skill. The best thing to do is schedule an evaluation session with us where we will meet you and your dog and give you the start of a training plan for your dog. This gives you a taste of how we train to see if we are a right fit for each other. During your evaluation we will work to understand your goals, home and where your dog is in their current training. At that point we will be able to give you a timeline for your dogs training.

How much does it cost to train a dog?

There is a not a one size fits all program so we can't give you a one size fits all price. Some dogs may take longer than others to train and so pricing is different depending on the dog and your family's goals.
