Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT METHODS DO YOU USE?
I am a balanced trainer. My training methods use both reward and aversive based training methods. It is important to have healthy boundaries and structure with your dog. This is why we teach each dog their choices and behaviors have both rewards and consequences.
WHY DO YOU USE THE E-COLLAR?
I have found the e-collar to be an extremely effective tool to create reliable communication between you and your dog. They've helped bridge the gap between owners and their dogs. This has allowed our clients to see amazing results in real life situations.
​
WHAT'S YOUR REFUND POLICY?
Our refund policy states as 25% of the total cost of your package is non-refundable. Cancellation four weeks prior to original start date of training will be the remaining 75% refund. Less than four weeks cancellation will result in it being 100% nonrefundable.
​
HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO USE THE E-COLLAR FOR?
The e-collar is a clear line of communication. Being able to keep that line of communication open is important to continue your dogs success. I advise always keeping the e-collar as a life long tool.
WHAT'S YOUR GUARANTEE?
Guarantees are impossible to offer in dog training when the owners are responsible for their dogs continued success. As my client you have 100% commitment from me to help you and your dog achieve results. I will be you and your dogs biggest supporter if you are committed to following through with the training.
DO YOU OFFER DISCOUNTS FOR MULTIPLE DOGS?
I do offer multiple dog discounts, I love to see all dogs in a home being on the same page. Training will change you and your dogs life and I find when all dogs have the same training and structure there is more long term success. There is a 10% discount off the second package; whichever is the lower value.
WHAT'S A TYPICAL DAY FOR A DOG IN THE B&T PROGRAM?
Each dog gets fulfilled every day with training sessions, socialization, exercise, mental relaxation time, and walks. Every dog is different and some may need more or less exercise but I look to fulfill each dogs specific needs everyday.
WHERE DO THE DOGS STAY DURING THE B&T?
I have a specific kennel room directly across from my room in my home. Every dog stays in a crate overnight and during breaks. My kennel room is temperature controlled and monitored so every dog is comfortable and relaxed.
WHAT AGE CAN MY DOG START THE B&T PROGRAM?
I have found five months to be the earliest age for dogs to retain their training. This age gives them a bit more time to be mentally developed. However, I work with owners who just brought a puppy home and coach them before the start of their b&t.
