Frequently asked questions
Pricing, timelines, behaviour issues, and how we train. Can’t find your answer? Ask us directly.
What kinds of dogs do you train?
We work with all breeds, ages, and temperaments of pet dogs, from young pups to adults. Every training plan is individualized based on your dog’s needs and goals.
What training services do you offer?
We offer Private Training and Board and Train programs. Private training emphasizes owner involvement and hands-on learning, while Board and Train provides a structured, immersive approach with follow-up transfer sessions to ensure long-term success.
How do I know which service is right for my dog?
The best way to determine that is through a consultation. During the consult, we assess your dog’s behaviour, your goals, and your schedule to recommend the most appropriate plan.
Are training sessions one-on-one?
Yes — both Private Training and Board and Train programs are individualized. Training is designed specifically for your dog, your goals, and your lifestyle.
Where do sessions take place?
Private training sessions take place in your home or in real-world environments relevant to your goals, so training reflects everyday situations.
Do you guarantee results?
No trainer can guarantee a specific outcome for every behaviour, but our training is designed to create real, measurable improvement. Success depends on consistency, follow-through, and the dog’s individual temperament. Our goal is always clear progress and practical results that carry over into everyday life.
Do you use training tools?
Training tools are selected based on the individual dog and situation. Tools are introduced when they are appropriate, beneficial, and clearly explained to the owner. Our focus is on clarity and communication, not reliance on equipment, and we use well-established, reputable tools when needed.
Do I need to be involved in training?
Absolutely. Your involvement is essential. Private training is hands-on with you and your dog, and Board and Train includes owner transfer sessions so you know how to maintain progress at home.
How long does training take?
There’s no fixed timeline — it varies with the dog, the goals, and consistency at home. A consultation helps set an appropriate plan and expectations.
Can I schedule a single session?
Consultations are typically booked first so we can assess needs and recommend next steps. Follow-up sessions or a training plan are then scheduled based on that assessment.
What should I expect during a consultation?
We observe your dog’s movement, engagement, responses to the environment, and communication patterns. This helps us identify goals and recommend the best training approach.
How do I get started?
Begin by booking a consultation. This leads to a personalized plan that fits your dog and your goals.
