Frequently asked questions.

Absolutely not! It is never too late to teach new tricks or fix bad habits. Bringing home a newly adopted rescue? Training is also a great way to bond with your dog.
-
I recommend 3 to 5 minutes per session, 3 to 5 times a day. Try to have all family members ask your puppy to do these tasks. Remember to try to train in every room of your house.

We can train several people at a time but only one dog at a time! Please contact me to build your private lessons around your needs.

Positive Reinforcement Training:
Focusing on rewards not only shapes dog behavior but also fosters their love for training. Positive reinforcement encourages dogs to actively participate in training, try new things, and seek ways to earn rewards without fear of making mistakes. It helps them understand your expectations in various situations. Additionally, through classical conditioning, your dog associates you with rewarding experiences, strengthening your bond. Harnessing this scientific approach is a fantastic way to enhance your relationship with your dog.
Training:
-
Dog owners/students are required to provide a minimum of 48 hours notice prior to the start of a scheduled training session if they wish to cancel and/or reschedule. Failure to do so will result in the session being charged. Original payments may be used as a credit to future training sessions for sessions cancelled prior to 48 hours in advance.
If a dog owner/student is running late to a training session, please contact Jen directly. She will work to give students a full lesson but cannot guarantee additional time beyond the scheduled training window.
Refunds are available with a minimum of 48 hour notice.
