Question 1

Do you do training via Zoom, Facetime, etc?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for limited basic obedience (sits, downs, stay, wait, eye contact, etc.), engagement work, etc.  For more advanced work we recommend in-person training if you're in the Southern Maine/New Hampshire Seacoast area, or finding a local trainer if you're outside of this area.

Question 2

My dog pulls and is reactive on leash toward squirrels, other dogs, people, etc.  Can you help?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely.  Depending on the severity of the behavior, your budget, and how quickly you’d like it to improve, we may recommend a stay & train engagement or a multi-session training plan.

Question 3

Do you offer day care or day school?

Accepted Answer

Not at this time.  Check out our services page for more information.

Question 4

I have 2 dogs and they recently got into a fight, and one was injured.  Should I surrender the dog that started the fight?

Accepted Answer

Surrendering your dog is a personal choice, but dog fights can be triggered by many things – resource guarding (a person, toy, food, bed, etc.), poor social skills, lack of human leadership, etc.  We recommend having us evaluate your dogs to start, and possibility have one or both dogs enroll in our stay & train program to target the triggers, and then work with you to recognize possible conflicts and how to manage them.

Question 5

Do you use prong, slip, or e-collars?

Accepted Answer

These may be an option depending on your dog’s age, size, and sensitivity, but are not appropriate for all dogs.  When used correctly, these training tools can be helpful in shaping or completing behaviors, and for the safety of you and your dog.  Please contact a professional trainer to learn how to correctly use these before putting one on your dog.
