 FAQs

  • As a trainer, the most important thing to me, first and foremost, is the relationship that I have with your dog. The relationship is the premise for all training, and earning the dogs trust and building up their motivation to work together is my first point of focus. Once we have an established communication system, and the dog understands exactly what I am asking for, then it is important to also hold them accountable.

  • Your dog will sleep in a kennel during the duration of their stay. We ask that you bring their own bedding, that way they have something cozy that smells like home, while they are away at training.

  • Yes, in some way or another. It really depends on the dog, how that will look. We love creating a good environment where your pup can learn good dog social and play skills, and also learn neutrality to other dogs.

  • Your pup’s daily routine will consist of 3 structured training sessions and lots of passive training through the day as well. They will also get supervised outside and play time with me and other dogs (if appropriate), and plenty of chill time to decompress and rest. Frozen kongs/toppls and chews are provided throughout the week as well.

The greatest gift you can give your dog is training!
