FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How much do your Training Sessions cost?
Every dog is different and unique. Our prices are based on the dog’s behavior as well as the desired goals. Our training packages will vary depending on your goals and the type of training you are interested in. You can visit our "Services" page to view the different training categories and package pricing.
Where are you located, and do you travel to where live?
We offer our Dog Training Services in Annapolis and beyond, including but not limited to Anne Arundel County, Prince Georges County, Howard County, and Queen Anne. There will be an additional $3/mile charge applied from any location greater than 35 miles from Annapolis. Contact us if you want to learn if we service your area.
What kind of training tools do you use?
We use a variety of training tools based on the behavior of the dog as well as the desired goals of the owner. We will never require an owner to use any training tool that they are not comfortable with. However, we will do our best to educate the owner on what we believe are the best training tools for your pet and why we believe that as well as effectively train the dog and owner to use them.
While dogs are different breeds, sizes, etc. We will appropriately fit and use these tools based on each need of the dog.
But keep in mind, the tools, including food rewards, do not train the dog. I will teach you how to understand the fundamental learning theories and use them to effectively communicate and train your dog.
Specific training tools used:

Tons and Tons of Food Reward Training-

We use your dog’s daily food for training as to not overload their system with too much extra ‘junk’ food. It is also a great way to have them work for and think about their meals.

What should I expect for the first session?
During our first session, I will gather background information and history on you and your pet. We will also discuss your training goals and expectations as a dog owner. After we have established a solid plan- we will begin training right away! I will leave you with specific details and homework to work on until we meet for our following session.
