Frequently asked questions
Q: Do you still provide training because of COVID-19?
Yes we do, we are currently providing online digital / video classes three times a day Monday through Friday. We are also providing free phone consultations.
Q: Do you provide service dogs, if so how much are they?
A: No, we do not provide service dogs. We do however provide you with the tools so that together we can help you train your own service dog at a fraction of the cost it would be to buy one.
Q: Do you board and train?
A: No, we do not board and train dogs, we do however work closely with you and your Duman to provide you with all the tools and techniques that are needed to help you become a dynamic team.
Q: How long will it take to train my dog? We only have a limited time to get them trained!
A: Training time is not set in stone, each dog and handler/owner are unique and different. Some teams are fast and can be trained in a matter of a few weeks where others take upwards of a year to train properly. If you are only looking for basic obedience, then your time with us will be short but if you are looking to have your dog be trained as a diabetic alert then you will be here for several months. This timeline also depends on how much you work with your Duman outside of class, if you only practice while at class then this timeline will be extended as well.
Q: How much are you and can I pay for everything upfront.
A: Our rates are set as follows, for group classes regardless of what you are training for (service dog, task training, access training, basic obedience, etc.) it is $30 a session. For our private classes we do not go by hour we go by the program that is needed. We also provide payment plans.
Q: Do you only train certain breeds of dogs?
A: We train any breed of dog.
Q: I have a 10 year old lab, is she to old to train?
A: Absolutely not, no age is to “old” or to young for that matter. Each age has its advantages and disadvantage, but no dog is to old to train especially for the basics. We pride ourselves on being able to work with all ages.
Q: Can any dog be a service dog, I see online I can just get an I.D., is this true?
A: Sadly not all dogs can be service dogs. It isn’t breed specific but it is a mental capacity issue. We work with all dogs, but some just won’t ever cut it to be a full service dog. Now this doesn’t mean that we give up, actually the opposite we work harder so that that dog can be the best it can be at home where it is needed in some cases the most. For the I.D. Question, you can but it isn’t real, no I.D. makes your dog anything, training makes your dog a service dog.
