How to Get Started!

Prospective clients can book a free consultation through their online booking system to discuss their dog’s needs and goals. During the consultation, a trainer assesses the dog’s behavior, discusses training objectives, and recommends the most suitable program—whether private, group, board-and-train, or a combination. Clients can then proceed with scheduling their first session.
