Can I bring an older dog to training, is it too late?

Our introductory course, Good Dog 101 is an excellent course for our older canine friends. The smaller class environment gives our trainer the opportunity to work with you on any issues your older dog may be having. You can teach an old dog new tricks!

Will your Trainer be able to address my specific questions or issues?

Our Trainer is always able to help you with any specific issues you may be having with your pet. If he cannot address them during class, he is often available to meet with you and your pet before or after class. We keep our classes small so each family can receive the best training possible.

Can I enroll two dogs in the training class?

Our classes are set up to train the dog and his owner. Two dogs from the same family are welcome to attend class together as long as they each bring a person with them. This enables each pet to have individual attention during class.

Can I visit a class before signing up?

We welcome interested guests to stop by our Training Academy during our normal class periods. By viewing a class in action you will be able to determine if this course is the right fit for your pet. We do ask, though, that you leave your pet at home.

There will be more than one person in our family training our dog should we all come to class?

We recommend all family members directly involved in training the dog attend class. Often it may be a son or daughter who will be helping a parent train the dog or a husband and wife training team. When possible, we recommend both people come to class to receive the full benefit of class instruction. At home, it will be the responsibility of the dog’s primary trainer to make sure the entire family is consistent with the training methods.
