Frequently Asked Questions
I’m thinking about bringing home a new dog, but I have some questions and I’m not sure how to prepare. Can you help?
Yes! You can book a virtual consultation here and we can discuss in detail.
What tools will I need for training?
The basics - a properly fitted collar and a 6 ft leash (no retractables.) We will provide you with a clicker at your first session. You’ll likely want a pouch or fanny pack of your choice, and the highest value treats possible, as determined by your dog.
Can record I videotape my dog’s sessions?
Yes! You are more than welcome to record your training sessions for personal use. Please refer back to your contract around guidelines pertaining to “personal use”.
My dog is leash reactive, can you help?
Yes! While leash reactivity can include scary-seeming behavior (lunging, growling, barking, pulling), it is simply an overreaction to certain stimuli in a dog's environment. We will work to understand your dog’s specific triggers and create a customized treatment plan to change his reaction to them.
My dog has separation anxiety; can you help?
Yes! Some dogs are innately anxious, others have past experiences or traumas that influence how they act when they’re left alone. We’ll work together on an individualized plan to help your dog build more confidence and feel more secure when he’s alone.
My dog is aggressive toward people and/or animals and has a biting history; can you help?
