Frequently Asked Questions
What training methods do you use?
Training methods and equipment depend on the selected program. Basic Marker Mastery™ uses reward-based methods with a clicker, slip lead, and long leash. Basic Obedience and Basic + Advanced include an e-collar and 15-foot lead among their published equipment. Ask the trainer to explain the recommended tools and how they will be used with your dog.
How long does dog training take?
The timeline depends on the program, the dog, and the owner’s consistency. Published options range from individual private lessons and a four-week Basic Marker Mastery™ program to five-session Basic Obedience, eight-week Basic + Advanced, a nine-week Aggression/Anxiety Package, and one-week or two-week Board & Train. No specific behavioral result should be promised solely from the length of a program.
Do you work with aggressive dogs?
Yes. The current pricing page lists a dedicated nine-week Aggression/Anxiety Package for aggression, reactivity, severe anxiety, timid behavior, and problems around other dogs. Standard Board & Train programs are not designed for dogs requiring aggression, anxiety, or behavior-modification work.
Is Board & Train suitable for a reactive dog?
The current pricing page says the 1 Week Freedom program excludes aggression, anxiety, and behavior-modification needs. It also says the 2 Week Board & Train is not designed for dogs with behavioral issues. Ask about the Aggression/Anxiety Package if your dog is reactive, aggressive, severely anxious, or timid around other dogs.
