No! Our Day Training services are specifically for those who need more help and might not have the time to train their dog constantly. We train the dog for you and meet with you once a week to transfer what your dog has learned. 

We do not train aggressive dogs. Nonetheless, we train dogs who are reactive. If you are not sure if your dog is demonstrating signs of reactivity or aggression we can determine the best course of action during our in-home evaluation. 

All pets must be up-to-date with their vaccinations so that we do not risk spreading diseases to other clients’ pets. We do make exceptions for pets who are unable to be vaccinated due to medical reasons, and we do accept titers as proof of immunity.

Training can start early in a dog’s life. In fact, we recommend beginning basic training as soon as you bring a new puppy home, which is usually around 8  weeks of age. Early training helps build a strong foundation for desirable behaviors and socialization.

That being said, it is never too late to start training your dog!
