Frequently Asked Questions

We offer dog training services for puppy classes, obedience classes, manners, tricks, tracking and treiball.

We use positive reinforcement techniques to train dogs, which means we reward good behavior rather than punishing bad behavior. Food isn't mandatory, you can use praise and toys as well.

Our remote classes are offered occasionally throughout the year. Classes take place in real time and mimic a traditional classroom environment. Classes offer a group setting for up to 10 dogs, allowing you to benefit from observing the challenges and successes of your classmates and learning from them.

Our classes are 6 weeks long and each class lasts one hour once per week. There is a maximum of 10 dogs per class and the fee is $120.00. If you have a rescue dog with proof of rescue the cost is $100 per 6-week training class.

Puppies are like sponges and are so rewarding to train! For in-person classes your pup needs to have proof of at least 2 vaccinations and de-worming from your veterinarian. Adults over 4 months require proof of rabies and parvo/distemper as well as deworming. There is NO age limit on remote classes!

Proof of vaccination/de-worming (see above). You will need a 6-foot leash, a flat collar, very small & soft treats and/or favorite toy(s), a rested and NOT freshly fed dog (training prior to a mealtime makes for a more eager dog/pup). If you are signing up for a tricks class we will talk about other optional items that you might want to have eventually. Please see Prepare for Virtual Class for remote classes if offered.
