FAQs

How do you train?

My goal is education for the people about the pet and teach you to train your dog. All dogs and people’s situations are different. I use force free methods and educate in positive and negative reinforcement and punishment.

Is my dog too old for training?

Nope, not at all!!! Just like people, dogs are learning all the time.

When should I start training my puppy?

Before you get him!! Have the house ready, the kids prepared and a list of rules that everyone agrees on. Your puppy is learning from the first interaction, make sure you teach them what you actually want.

Will my dog still like me?

Dogs love off rules, it gives them structure, purpose and clear guidelines. When we are consistent and take the time to communicate with them, our bond grows together.

I’m a busy person, how do I find time to train?

Finding time to train is easy, dogs are learning through every interaction we have with them - it’s about sending them the message we want. Formal training, no more then 5 minutes per session - that’s a TV ad break!

My dog isn’t food driven

I have trained lots and lots of dogs. We find what works for them and what they like. Some dogs LOVE balls or toys - that’s great!!! We use what they want as a reward. That’s what I’m here for - find the way that works for you and your pet then train you to train your pet

What times are you available?

As I come to you, the times are flexible and can be on the weekend. If you are wanting to do training outside the home, then we will start at your home and work our way out. I’m here to help you and your pet to achieve your goals!
