How to Get Started!

The first step to begin training or behavior programs is a required behavioral evaluation. These evaluations can be scheduled virtually, at Ronin Canine’s facility, or in the client’s home, depending on the dog’s comfort and the situation. This assessment helps the trainers understand the dog’s needs, temperament, and environment to create a safe and customized training plan.
