Puppies can start private lessons or group classes as early as 8 weeks old, and they can begin a board & train after they receive their final parvo shot around 16 weeks old.
Your dog will stay in our indoor, climate controlled training facility. Gary lives on-site, so your dog will never be without a human for support close by.
This answer varies depending on Gary’s current workload.
The short answer is no, the whole family does not have to be there. However, we find it very helpful if at least the two head members of the household (ex: both Mom and Dad attend the session, and they relay info to the kids later) are present.
Absolutely. We are passionate about our differently-abled handlers, and we dedicate ourselves fully to finding training solutions that work for you, your dog, and any other circumstances involved.
Yes! We are familiar with a variety of gut and diet issues, as well as specialty diets. Many of us have fed raw to our dogs at some point in life, so we still have a deep freezer and all supplies necessary to accommodate raw diets.
We ask that families who have dogs with significant dietary restrictions please bring their own treats. We go through treats quickly here, so approximately 1 pound for every 3 days of boarding is sufficient. If the dietary restriction is simple (no grain, no chicken), we can likely accommodate this on our own without you needing to provide treats.
Absolutely not! We are big believers that every dog deserves an equal chance in life, regardless of breed.
Yes and no. The success of our training is entirely dependent on our client following the recommendations we have set in place for them, and we cannot guarantee everyone will do their homework. So we cannot guarantee that if you spend X dollars you will definitely get X results.
However, we are committed to improving the lives of pets everywhere, and if it is apparent that you have put in the work, we will be there for you. We guarantee that 100%. We will schedule you an extra lesson, allow you to tag along to lessons with other dogs with similar behavior problems, lend you books, send you videos, anything that helps you learn.
We’ll see what we can do
