FAQs
Q: What if my dog is nervous or shy?
A: We welcome dogs with mild anxiety or fear—as long as they are safe around people and dogs. We take a slow, gentle approach to help them feel at home.
Q: Do you use shock collars, prong collars, or other aversive tools?
A: No. We use only science-backed, humane training methods based in positive reinforcement. Research shows aversives can increase fear and anxiety and often suppress behavior without addressing the root cause. Our focus is on trust, not intimidation. That means rewarding behaviors we do want, rather than punishing the ones we don’t.
Q: Can you guarantee my dog’s behavior will change?
A: No ethical trainer can guarantee specific results, because dogs are living beings with unique needs and learning curves. What we do guarantee is personalized attention, a clear training plan, and ongoing support to help you and your dog succeed together. Real results take teamwork and follow-through, and I’ll be right there to coach you every step of the way.
Q: How do I know if private training is right for me and my dog?
A: If you’re dealing with puppy chaos, leash pulling, door dashing, or just feeling like your dog has selective hearing, private training gives us the chance to focus 100% on your goals in your environment. It’s great for busy families, shy dogs, or anyone who needs flexible, personalized help.
Q: What does a private session look like?
A: Sessions are 100% tailored to you and your dog. I come to your home or meet you somewhere real-life (like your neighborhood or a park), and we work on the skills that matter most. You’ll learn exactly what to do and how to keep progress going between sessions.
Q: How many sessions will I need?
A: That depends on your goals, your dog’s learning style, and how consistent you can be between sessions. Some issues can be resolved quickly, while others (like leash reactivity or impulse control) need more time. After your first session, I’ll give you a personalized plan and honest expectations. There are no shortcuts when it comes to ethical, lasting dog training. Even with intensive and personalized sessions, dogs learn at different paces based on their age, history, and individual personality. Every dog is different, and what one pup learns in a week may take another dog three. We'll meet your dog where they are, and progress will be based on their comfort and clarity—not a cookie-cutter timeline.
Q: Do you offer virtual training too?
A: Yes! Virtual sessions are perfect for things like puppy prep, behavior coaching, or follow-ups. You’d be surprised how much we can get done without even stepping paw outside. Just ask!
