Frequently Asked Questions
You and the trainer will get to know each other, the dog’s history and current challenges. This provides the trainer with the information to recommend the best hands-on practice, theories and methods to be used. It’s important we understand the current challenges and your dog’s history as it sets the foundation for your dog’s customized modification plan.
These plans will provide you with the confidence to work with your dog and gage results.
You are welcome to bring any family/household members that would be helping with the dog along with you. All children, 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
