Frequently Asked Questions
What training methods do you use?
Training methods vary by program. Applicable obedience and Board & Train programs may use an e-collar and training leash to develop communication and off-leash control. Marker Mastery™ uses marker or clicker-based positive reinforcement without e-collars or prong collars and includes a clicker, slip lead, and long leash. Behavior-focused programs combine structured obedience with desensitization and controlled exposure to relevant triggers.
How long does training take to see results?
Training time depends on the selected program and the dog’s needs. The current website lists eight-week private programs, several two-week Board & Train options, and a three-week on-leash Reactivity Board & Train. Progress and maintenance also depend on the dog, the training goals, and the owner’s consistency after professional training. Program length alone does not guarantee a specific outcome.
Do you offer guarantees on your training?
The website advertises guaranteed obedience for commands covered by applicable programs and lifetime refresher lessons for Board & Train graduates. These claims do not guarantee the complete elimination of aggression, anxiety, reactivity, or every behavioral concern. The three-week Reactivity Board & Train is specifically described as an on-leash program. Review the current plans and pricing and ask about guarantee terms, eligibility, and refresher support before enrolling.
What age can my puppy start dog training?
The website lists puppy training beginning as early as 8 weeks through puppy training courses and consultation sessions. The 2-Week Puppy Board & Train has a separate minimum enrollment age of 12 weeks. Puppy training may cover crate routines, potty training, socialization, manners, and basic obedience, depending on the selected program.
