Question 1

Do you work with puppies?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Puppy Foundations can cover crate comfort, potty routines, leash basics, confidence building, bite inhibition, settling, early socialization, and household manners.

Question 2

Do you work with anxious dogs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Confidence and real-world training is available for anxious or sensitive dogs. The pace is slow and practical, with careful exposure to new places, sounds, surfaces, people, and routines.

Question 3

Do you offer dog walking?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes, but Trail & Heel is training-first. Real-world practice walks may be recommended when they support leash manners, confidence, exposure work, or better routines. If you only need basic dog walking, I may not be the best fit.

Question 4

Do you offer board & train?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Board & train is available on a limited basis, by consultation only, for appropriate dogs and focused goals. It includes structure, practical training, and a careful owner handoff.

Question 5

How much does training cost?

Accepted Answer

Pricing depends on your dog, your location, the goals, and the type of support recommended. Start with the free consultation, and I will give you a clear recommendation before anything is scheduled.

Question 6

What tools do you use?

Accepted Answer

I am a positive reinforcement based trainer and practice pain-free training methods. Training starts with rewards, clear communication, management, and safe equipment for the dog in front of us. My personal favorite training tool is the long line.

Question 7

Do you work with aggressive dogs?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the dog and the type of aggression. A lot of dogs people call aggressive are actually scared, anxious, reactive, or overwhelmed. Give me a call and we can talk through what is happening, what you have already tried, and whether I am the right fit.

Question 8

Are vaccinations required?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Vaccination records may be required for real-world practice walks, board & train, and ongoing support. We will talk through requirements before anything is scheduled.
