Frequently Asked Questions
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.
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.
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!
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.
