Frequently Asked Questions
How long does training take?
It depends on your goals and your dog's needs. Puppy training packages typically run 4–8 weeks. Behavior modification cases may take longer. We'll give you a realistic timeline during your consultation.
What if my dog has severe behavior issues?
We specialize in behavior modification, including reactivity, aggression, and fear-based behaviors. These cases often benefit from our board-and-train program, where your dog stays with us for intensive work. We'll assess your situation and create a plan that works.
Do you work with rescue and adopted dogs?
Absolutely. Rescue and adopted dogs are a core part of what we do. Many have unknown histories or past trauma, and we're experienced in building confidence and trust at their pace.
What training methods do you use?
We use positive reinforcement and reward-based methods. Science shows these work better than punishment-based approaches, and they build confidence in your dog while strengthening your bond. No harsh corrections or aversive tools.
Can you help with separation anxiety and reactivity?
Yes. Separation anxiety, leash reactivity, barking, and other common challenges are areas where we see great results. We address the root cause, not just the symptom.
What's the cost of training?
Private lesson packages typically range from $350 to $550 depending on the number of sessions. Behavior modification and board-and-train programs are priced based on your dog's needs. We'll give you a specific quote after your consultation.
Do you offer board-and-train programs?
Yes. Our board-and-train option is great for dogs with severe behavior issues, puppies needing intensive socialization, or owners with busy schedules. Your dog stays with us for focused training, and we teach you how to maintain progress at home.
Can you train adult dogs?
Definitely. Dogs of any age can learn. Adult dogs often learn faster than puppies because they have better focus. Whether your dog is 2 or 10, we can help.

We know calling a trainer for the first time can feel uncertain. Here's exactly what happens when you reach out—no surprises, just a straightforward conversation about your dog and how we can help.
We'll Ask About Your Dog
We'll start by getting to know your dog—their age, breed, personality, and what brought you to call. We'll listen to what's challenging you: Is your dog pulling on the leash? Reacting to other dogs? Still working on house training? This is where we understand the real situation.
We'll Recommend the Right Training
Based on what you've shared, we'll recommend the training option that fits your dog and your life. Are they a puppy needing a strong foundation? An adult dog with behavior challenges? Do you want private lessons at home or a board-and-train program? We'll explain why each option works.
We'll Answer Your Questions
This is your time to ask anything. How do our training methods work? What's the investment? How long until you see results? Are we a good fit for your dog? We're here to be transparent and make sure you feel confident moving forward—no pressure, just honesty.

Common Questions
We've answered the questions we hear most often. If you don't see what you're looking for, just call us at (530) 750-6944.
How long does training take?
It depends on your dog and your goals. Puppy training programs typically run 4–8 weeks, while behavior modification for established issues might take 8–12 weeks or longer. We design a timeline based on your dog's specific needs and how quickly they progress. Most owners see noticeable improvement within the first 2–3 weeks.
What if my dog has severe behavior issues?
We specialize in behavior modification, including reactivity, aggression, and fear-based behaviors. During your initial consultation, we'll assess your dog's specific challenges and recommend the best approach—whether that's private lessons, a board-and-train program, or a combination. Some cases benefit from working with a veterinary behaviorist in parallel, and we're happy to coordinate that.
Do you work with rescue and adopted dogs?
Absolutely. Rescue and adopted dogs often come with unknown histories and can benefit greatly from individualized training and socialization. We understand the unique challenges rescue owners face and tailor our approach to help your dog build confidence and trust in their new home. Many of our clients are rescue and adoption families.
What's the difference between your training methods and others?
We use positive reinforcement and reward-based methods grounded in behavior science. This means we focus on rewarding the behaviors you want rather than punishing unwanted ones. It's more effective, builds confidence in your dog, and creates a stronger bond between you and your dog. Our approach is supported by veterinarians and modern behavior research—and it delivers lasting results.
Can you help with separation anxiety and reactivity?
Yes. Separation anxiety and reactivity to other dogs or stimuli are common challenges we address regularly. These issues often require a structured, gradual approach paired with owner coaching. We'll create a customized plan that helps your dog feel more confident and secure, whether that's through private lessons, home visits, or our board-and-train program.
How much does training cost?
Pricing depends on the service and program length. Private lesson packages typically range from $350 for 4 sessions to $550 for 8 sessions. Behavior modification programs are priced based on complexity and duration. Board-and-train programs vary depending on the length of stay and intensity of work. During your initial consultation, we'll discuss your needs and provide a clear estimate with no surprises.
Do you offer board-and-train programs?
Yes. Our board-and-train program is ideal for busy professionals, dogs with complex behavior issues, or owners who want intensive, focused training. Your dog stays with us while we work on obedience, behavior modification, or both. You'll get regular updates and coaching on how to maintain the training once your dog comes home. We focus on building skills that transfer to your household.
Can you train adult dogs?
Absolutely. Adult dogs learn just as well as puppies—sometimes better, because they have more impulse control. Whether your dog is 1 year old or 10 years old, we can help with obedience, behavior modification, and building new skills. It's never too late to train.
