Question 1

Do you work with aggressive dogs?

Accepted Answer

Yes!
 
This is one of the most common behavioral problems that we help resolve - both aggression toward people and other dogs. You may be relieved to learn, that it's quite common for people who have self-diagnosed their dogs with aggression to realize that the issue is not true aggression at all, but rather much more benign behavioral issues that present as being quite serious. 
 
The combination of our unique methods and proper evaluation can improve even the most severe cases.

Question 2

I have worked with one or more trainers before with little or no success. What makes your program different and more effective?

Accepted Answer

We are often the last stop after people have been through other unsuccessful training programs.  Sometimes even several.  Sometimes the failure rate is due to the skill level of the trainer not being enough for the particular dog or situation, sometimes it is an inappropriate or ineffective method, and other times it pertains to a lack of ability to transfer skills to the owners as well as no form of long term support. 
 
Fortunately, our programs not only fundamentally change the dog's state of mind, but they are designed to affect the long term memory, so results are not superficial or temporary. 
 
What's more, is the time we have dedicated to studying how human's learn best as well.  Not only do we offer traditional lessons where our principles and techniques are easy to follow and practice, but we also grant our clients access to a private library of review material including videos and articles. This way, clients are able to learn at their own pace and can be relieved of the pressure of having to retain tons of information at once.

Question 3

I can't afford your programs, but I really need help. What can I do?"

Accepted Answer

We understand that some of our specialized programs, like the board and train,  are a valuable but serious investment for most people.  While private lessons can be a useful alternative, if that still doesn't feel like exactly what you're looking for, I encourage you to check out our new membership communities!

Our membership programs are designed to make expert dog training accessible and effective for anyone, especially for those who may not have the budget for other options. With our programs, you’ll receive practical, hands-on guidance that works with your lifestyle, whether you’re tackling training on your own or alongside expert support. Each tier offers value for any student—from DIY training tips and structured video content to interactive Q&As and tailored feedback in advanced tiers—so you can learn and progress at a pace that fits both your schedule and budget.

Membership is a powerful tool for every dog owner, giving you direct access to quality training resources and ongoing support without the upfront costs of a board-and-train program. We believe every dog deserves quality training, and our goal is to make it possible for you to achieve this with the guidance and community support that make the journey effective and enjoyable.

Question 4

Will training ruin my dog's personality?

Accepted Answer

This is surprisingly one of the most common concerns about training. What many believe is that training will make dogs robotic, sad, and essentially strip dogs of their personality. 
 
This couldn't be farther from the truth. I would passionately argue that the exact opposite is true. 
 
When a dog is given an opportunity to develop such essential life skills, learning super clear boundaries paired with a reward system they can be relieved of the burden of anxiety, defensive behaviors, fear, and confusion of their current state, and instead experience clarity, relationship, and harmony with their people and surroundings.
 
Trained dogs have a purpose and a shared language with their people.  This creates a connection, intimacy, and trust that was not possible before. Not only do dogs feel more confident and comfortable, but they are often rewarded with owners who want to spend more time with them, walk with and travel with them more.  Their entire world's open up to new possibilites and experiences. 
 
Training programs like this one that truly honor the dog's mind will actually bring out their personalities, sense of humor, and sense of joy.  Many owners are surprised to find dogs becoming more affectionate, attentive, calm, and secure.

Question 5

What happens if I don't get the reults I want? Is there a guarantee?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, there is no guarantee on any training program.  There are just far too many variables when it comes to the execution of the tools/techniques, great management and consistency that long term results depend on. 
 
We can guarantee our methods work, and our support system will always be available for your dog and family. 
 
We only choose the most dedicated, hard working, and resourceful owners.  No matter how serious the behavior issues are, those who are committed to maintaining the training program always achieve phenomenal results. Owners who utilize all of our support material, communicate when they're feeling confused or sense backslides of any sort, and take additional lessons when needed, experience amazing transformations and go on to enjoy our experiential work shops, and other opportunities.  We pride ourselves in being super present for our clients, and are only one quick phone call or text away to help people troubleshoot and succeed.
