Attention:
Important information about our training sessions
-
My dogs are fighting. Can you help me?Yes! We have successfully helped many families who are stuggling with pack members who aren't getting along. This would be the "K9 Reset Package". When we have two dogs that actively fighting, like in this case, we offer a 50% discount on the second dog when trained together (each dog would need their own handler). So, the six week package for both dogs would be $2,692.50 and would include all the package perks for both dogs, like training tools, etc. We did not list this in the services offered to save space, so just call us and we will get you set up with this "K9 Reset for 2 Dogs Package".
-
How often do you have the trainings?You will work with your trainer and the trainer's discretion, however we typically run sessions once a week. If your training sessions are spaced out more than that, it can cause regression and interfere with your progress throughout the training program.
-
Is there a travel fee?No. All fees are covered in the package price.
-
What if I want additional training tools for my other dogs?You can purchase any additional training tools from your trainer during your session.
-
Do you work with all breeds and ages?Yes! We have no breed restrictions on domestic dogs and work with all ages.
-
Can you work with wolf hybrids?Unfortunately we cannot work with wolf hybrids for liability and insurance reasons.
-
My dog is an adult. Is it too late to train him?No! So long as your dog is of sound mind they can be trained. If they are older and set in their ways, it can take longer to curb behaviors and change mindsets, but with consistency and proper training we can help you reach your goals.
-
Can you help with specific behavioral issues like aggression or separation anxiety?Yes. Depending on the type and severity of the aggression would depend on whether it is the K9 Reset or Perfect Paws program. We also have lots of experience helping owners work through their dog's separation anxiety using a gentle and compassionate approach.
-
How long does it take to see results?Some results will be immediate and then just need to be maintained. Others will come with repetition and consistency through training. This depends many factors such as your dog's personality, your committment to training, and how consistent you are with following your trainer's guidance.
-
What training methods do you use?Our trainers are trained using many different methods and tools, and the direction your training will go will be based on the behavior of the dog, and the comfort level of the owner. We pride ourselves in empowering the owners through training and education, and teach proper techniques with whatever training tool is best for your dog's situation to bring out the best in both the dog, and the dog owner.
-
Can you help with leash reactivity or pulling?Yes! These behaviors can be addressed in our Perfect Paws Package.
-
What age should I start training my puppy?We can start training as early as 8 weeks, but anytime around 12 weeks is ideal.
-
Do you offer potty training and crate training support?Yes. These behaviors can be covered in both Puppy Pathways and Perfect Paws Training Packages, depending on the age of the dog.
-
Can you help with basic commands and socialization?Yes. Socialization can be included in both Puppy Pathways and Perfect Paws Training Programs.
-
Can you provide references or testimonials from past clients?Yes. Please see the Testimonials section on the Home Page.
-
Can you train service dogs, therapy dogs, or emotional support animals?We do not train "Service Dogs", dogs trained to provide a specialized service for the handler like opening doors or guiding the blind. At this time we cannot certify your dog as a therapy dog but we can help you determine their eligibility and customize the training program to work to get them certified. Trainer Rich is experienced and handled a Therapy K9 for the Police Department in his former career. We are working to be able to certify Therapy Dogs in the near future.
-
Do you offer training for multi-dog households?The training programs are designed around one dog, but as the trainings are done in-home, sometimes we will work with other pack members during your session. However, in these circumstances, the other pack members will not be entitled to the package perks and any training tools needed for those dogs will need to be purchased from your trainer. However, it is important to know that having more than one dog involved in the training can slow down the process and interfere with you meeting your goals within the training package schedule.
