Question 1

My dogs are fighting.  Can you help me?

Accepted Answer

Yes!  We have successfully helped many families who are stuggling with pack members who aren't getting along.  This would be our Pack Therapy program.

Question 2

How often do you have the trainings?

Accepted Answer

You will work with your trainer and the trainer's discretion, however we typically run sessions once a week.  If your training sessions are spaced out more than that, it can cause regression and interfere with your progress throughout the training program with the exception of Pack Therapy, which is a conditioning over a longer period of time.  During your Pack Therapy program, the first four sessions will be weekly, and then the last four will be spaced out at the discretion of the trainer.

Question 3

Is there a travel fee?

Accepted Answer

No.  All travel costs are covered in the package price, however we only service the East Valley to include Mesa, parts of Scottsdale, parts of Phoenix, Chandler, Gilbert, Apache Junction, and Tempe.

Question 4

What if I want additional training tools for my other dogs?

Accepted Answer

You can purchase any additional training tools from your trainer during your session.

Question 5

Do you work with all breeds and ages?

Accepted Answer

Yes!  We have no breed restrictions on domestic dogs and work with all ages.

Question 6

Can you work with wolf hybrids?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately we cannot work with wolf hybrids for liability and insurance reasons.

Question 7

My dog is an adult.  Is it too late to train him?

Accepted Answer

No! So long as your dog is of sound mind they can be trained.  If they are older and set in their ways, it just may take longer to curb behaviors and change mindsets, but with consistency and proper training we can help you reach your goals.

Question 8

Can you help with specific behavioral issues like aggression or separation anxiety?

Accepted Answer

Yes.  Depending on the dog's age, duration of the behavior, and the type and severity of the aggression or anxiety will determine the probability of curbing the behavior; we suggest speaking with one of our trainers for specifics on your pet's behavior.  We also have lots of experience helping owners manage their dog's separation anxiety using a gentle and compassionate approach.

It should be noted that not all behaviors can be "cured".  If it is a behavior based on a genetic predisposition with your dog, we will work to teach you how to best manage the behavior moving forward.

Question 9

How long does it take to see results?

Accepted Answer

Some results will be immediate and then just need to be maintained.  Others will come with repetition and consistency through training.  This depends many factors such as your dog's personality, your committment to training, and how consistent you are with following your trainer's guidance.

Question 10

What training methods do you use?

Accepted Answer

Our trainers are trained using many different methods and tools, and the direction your training will go will be based on the behavior of the dog, and the comfort level of the owner.  We pride ourselves in empowering the owners through training and education, and teach proper techniques with whatever training tool is best for you and your dog, and strive to help you and your pup be the best versions of themselves!

Question 11

Can you help with leash reactivity or pulling?

Accepted Answer

Yes!  These behaviors can be addressed to completely curb the behvior, or in extreme cases the handler will learn how to best manage the behavior.

Question 12

What age should I start training my puppy?

Accepted Answer

We can start training as early as 8 weeks, but anytime around 12 weeks is ideal.  With puppies, our goal is general control while setting them up to be social, and well-balanced pack members to prevent extreme behavioral issues in the future.

Question 13

Do you offer potty training and crate training support?

Accepted Answer

Yes.  If these are issues you are dealing with, they most certainly can be addressed in your training program.

Question 14

Can you help with basic commands and socialization?

Accepted Answer

Yes.  Basic commands are taught in our progams, and a great way to work on socialization is to join our Alumni Social Events where we have past and current clients who come together for a nice group activity!

Question 15

Can you provide references or testimonials from past clients?

Accepted Answer

Yes.  Please see the Testimonials section on the Home Page of the website.

Question 16

Can you train service dogs, therapy dogs, or emotional support animals?

Accepted Answer

We do not train "Service Dogs", which are dogs trained to provide a specialized service for the handler like opening doors, picking up items, or guiding the blind.

At this time we cannot certify your dog as a Therapy Dog but we can help you determine their eligibility and customize the training program to work to get them certified.  Trainer Rich is experienced and running and handling the Therapy K9 progam for the Tempe  Police Department  prior to his retirement.

We hope to be able to help certify your dog in a Therapy K9 program in the future.

Question 17

Do you offer training for multi-dog households?

Accepted Answer

Yes.  Although the Perfect Paws and Pack Therapy packages only provide training tools for 1 dog, there is not a limit on the amount of pack members, so long as they all live in the same household.
