Frequently asked questions
If your dog treats your commands like suggestions, steals snacks like a ninja, drags you on walks like a sled team, or thinks “come” means “run the other way”... it might be time for training.
But in all seriousness, if your dog exhibits unwanted behaviors—like jumping, pulling on the leash, ignoring recall, being overly hyper, anxious, reactive, or simply not listening—it’s a great sign they’ll benefit from professional training.
Training isn’t just for “bad dogs.” It’s for every dog to learn clear communication, gain confidence, and live more peacefully with their humans. Even the best dogs can benefit from some structure and guidance!
You can begin training as early as 8 weeks old! While puppies may have short attention spans, early training builds essential habits and helps prevent behavioral issues down the road. For a board and train, we recommend your puppy be at least five months of age for our Advanced Program.
For older dogs—don’t worry—it’s never too late to start!Private lessons involve weekly sessions with one-on-one guidance, giving you the tools to train your dog at home. Board & Train is a fully immersive program where your dog lives with a professional trainer and learns around the clock. Both include follow-up support!
Yes! We offer flexible payment plans to help make high-quality training accessible for every family. Most families note we are less expensive than most, and offer more than anyone else!
