How to Get Started!

The process to begin training is designed to be simple and stress-free, even for busy schedules. The first step is to schedule a free consultation, during which the trainers will learn about the dog’s behavior, personality, and the owner’s goals, then recommend the most suitable program.

Next, the dog stays at Winnabow K9’s safe, structured, and loving environment for hands-on training, with owners receiving regular photo and video updates to stay informed. Finally, upon completion of the training, the dog returns home with a transformed mindset, ready to listen and handle everyday situations with confidence, and the owner is equipped with the necessary tools to maintain the progress.
