Frequently asked dog training questions
Below you will find the most commonly asked questions is the last 30+ years that we have been professionally training dogs.
What types of dog training services do you offer?
How old does my dog/puppy need to be before I can start the training?
Yes, we offer specialized puppy training programs focusing on socialization, basic commands, and building a strong foundation for future learning.Your dog should be 12 weeks of age or older.
How long are the training sessions?
How long will the training take?
Most of our dog training classes are six lessons. You will see results during the first lesson. By the third lesson your dog will be communicating with you. The length of time to fully train your dog will depend on what you want to achieve and how much time you are willing to spend with him.
What is the difference between the way you train and the way many others train?
Many trainers just train the dog which is easy. Your dog spends a month with a trainer and the dog will obey the trainer. Once the dog gets home and the owner does not know the same methods that the trainer used or the same commands he will figure out very quickly that you do not know what you are doing or that you have not learned any of the techniques that the trainer used and then real problems begin. The way we train, you will be taught how to train your own dogs using step-by-step using humane “Pack Leader” techniques that are proven.
Private lessons vs board & train? How should I pick?
To put it simply, private lessons focus on teaching you how to train your dog, while board and train programs provide the most effective training outcomes for people who don't have the time to spend training their dog. Since dogs stay with trainers throughout the training process, they receive significantly more training repetitions compared to private lessons. If you're seeking assistance in training your own dog, we suggest private lessons; however, if you do not have the time to spend training your dog a board and train program is the way to go. You can find more details about these options in our Programs section.
Can you address specific behavioral issues with my dog?
How do you train my dog?
We train/coach you to train your dog. This way you will be able to train any dog that you get in the future using the same method. We want your dog to listen to you, since you are the one that is going to be living with him. :)
Do you accept credit cards?
Yes! We accept all forms of credit cards.
How important is dog training?
Dog training is an investment for life, not just your current dog, but all the dogs that you get in the future. This is a formal dog training education that lays the foundation. Think of how much more enjoyable life will be with a trained dog that's not getting into trouble all the time. You will be able to have more enjoyable time on walks with your family and your dog. If you take your dog out in public you will not have to worry about his behavior, because he will be well behaved. How much money do you want to spend on replacing your chewed shoes, damaged carpets, dry-wall and heaven forbid electrical cables. You will not have to worry about your dog jumping on your guests or even not being able to let your dog in the house when you have company, because he growls at them.
Will my dog listen to other members of my family after the training?
What if I have more that one dog that needs to be trained?
No problem we offer multiple dog household discounts.
