Frequently Asked Questions

How old should my puppy be before beginning training?

Answer: Puppies are learning from the moment they are born. Often the things they are learning are things we don’t like. It’s best to start teaching them the things we do like as soon as you bring them home.

Do we use shock or static collars?

Answer: No, we do not use shock, prong, or choke collars.

How many sessions should I buy?

Answer: That depends on what your goals are, how much time you invest in your dog,  and how quickly your dog learns, but six sessions is the most common amount.
