Dogs should be least 5 months old to start training, but they are never too old begin.
All lessons are 1-on-1 for the most effective and custom approach.
1 hour, any longer is too much for one session for the dog.
While this is possible, it is not the most effective approach. Down the line, once each dog has an advanced level of obedience, this can be done.
Depending on the dog, roughly 1 hour per day, with no more than roughly 20-minute sessions.
Aggressive and reactive dogs take longer than the 2-week board and train program to really improve, so individual lessons are best for these types of dogs.
Every dog is different, some a few months, some a few years, some the rest of their lives. It also depends on your desired level of obedience.
Any breed and any age is accepted, as long as they are older than 5 months.
Each lesson is customized to each dog and owner, if you’re already through the basics then we can start into the harder lessons.
Proper use of an e-collar is very important. Low-level stimulation has a calming effect while high levels can overwhelm the dog and should only be used in emergency situations. Our stimulation is similar to a medical device called a Muscle Stimulator used by doctors to re-educate muscles, relieve muscle spasms, increase range of motion, prevent muscle atrophy, and treat conditions resulting from a stroke. It leaves no marks or residual pain and promotes compliance through muscle control of the dog’s neck. Beware of imported shock collar systems that use high shocking circuitry and may cause your dog’s neck to jerk excessively, scare your dog and damage his/her psyche.
Your dog, their collar, and their leash.
