‍Frequently Asked Questions

• What type of training do you provide
  • There are many methodologies to training animals. We pride ourselves in using humane methods by using positive reinforcement as our foundation to training your pet. We are L.I.M.A. trainers which means: Least Intrusive Minimally Aversive.
• How much does the training cost
  • Costs depend on the individual needs. We have researched the industry and find our costs to be very competitive. It is best to contact us directly to decipher your needs.
• Is there a guarantee
  • The guarantee comes from you and how much homework you put into your pets training. When working with animals there are no guarantees. Please refer to the link that breaks down our policy.
• How long does it take to train a dog
  • Each animal learns at their own pace because each one has their own personality. Typically one dog can learn multiple behaviors in one day, but in order to retain one behavior, it can take 3 - 6 months. Cats typically learn one behavior in 3 days.
• How many classes do you offer
  • Our website explains all the classes we offer. We are always growing and continue to learn other ways to train our pets. Group classes are a 5 week course and are 1 hour each. Private classes can range from 1 hour to as many hours as you may need to accomplish your goals.
