Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions? We’ve got answers. From training methods to session details, find everything you need to know right here. If you still have questions, don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re here to help!
What is the age limit for dogs in group classes?
Group classes are ideal for dogs aged 5.5 months and older. This ensures that all dogs in the class have basic obedience training, making the class productive for everyone.
My dog has never been to a group class before. Will this be a problem?
Not at all! Our expert trainers are skilled in working with dogs at all levels of training and socialization. They will ensure your dog feels comfortable and can participate fully in the class activities.
What if my dog is not friendly with other dogs or people?
Our trainers are experienced in managing and working with dogs that have different temperaments. However, for dogs with severe aggression or anxiety issues, we recommend starting with private training sessions before joining group classes.
How often should I attend classes?
While the frequency can depend on your dog's needs and your own schedule, we recommend regular attendance to get the most benefit. Regular practice helps consolidate learning and promotes better communication between you and your dog.
Still Have Questions?
If you didn’t find the answer you were looking for, we’re here to help. Reach out to us, and we’ll provide all the information you need about our private consultation services.
Can any dog join the group classes?
Yes, we offer classes for dogs of all breeds and ages. We recommend starting with a class that matches your dog's current skill level.
What if I have more than one dog? Can I bring them all to the class?
Each class is designed to focus on one dog-owner pair at a time for effective learning. If you have more than one dog, we recommend enrolling them in separate classes or scheduling private consultations.
What should I bring to class?
For each class, bring your dog on a leash along with any special treats or toys that your dog particularly likes. These can be used as motivational aids during training.
How long does each class last?
Each group training class is 1 hour long.
Can I join a class midway?
We recommend starting at the beginning of a course to ensure you and your dog don't miss out on any critical skills. If you can't join from the start, get in touch with us, and we'll try to accommodate your needs.
