Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose between private lessons and board & train?

Private lessons are a good fit when you want direct coaching with your dog. Board & Train may work for owners seeking a more immersive training schedule. We'll discuss the right approach for your specific goals.

Can you help with pulling, jumping, and unreliable recall?

These are common goals we can work on. We start by discussing your dog's behavior and current skills, then build a practical plan.

Do owners participate in the training?

Yes. Teaching you how to communicate clearly and practice between sessions is an important part of making progress.
