FAQ’s
What training methods do you use?
I don’t use a one-size-fits-all method. Every dog is different and will need an individualized approach.
I’m a Certified trainer and use proven methods instead of chasing the latest trends.
What is the minimum age for training?
The minimum age for in-home training at your place is eight weeks.
11 weeks is the minimum for Boot Camp (board training).
What is your view on e-collars/shock collars?
I won’t sell you a shock collar, or for that matter, any collar. I don’t believe that true training is accomplished with a shock collar. These are too often used as shortcuts, scaring the dog instead of achieving real obedience. Many people that use shock collars don’t understand how to appropriately use them and haven’t spent any time training their dog to stop the bad behavior prior to putting one on. We live in a quick fix society, and this mentality can make a shock collar seem like a good solution to their problem. Improperly used, these collars can destroy the bond between a dog and their owner, which is what makes dogs so special to us.
Is the AKC Canine Good Citizen Test available?
Absolutely! I’m happy to tell you more about this ten-skill training program.
Do you train service dogs?
Yes, service dog training is available. Please read the information at the links below to learn about regulations and requirements for therapy and service dogs.
What is your cancellation or refund policy?
Please carefully consider your dog, your schedule, and your level of commitment to training, before registering for a lesson or board and training program. I do not offer monetary refunds. If an owner chooses to un-enroll from the program during attendance, they have still taken up a spot that could have been used by another client and no refund will be given. This training program forms a partnership between the dog and their owner. The end results depends on the owner completing the homework and continuing to use the strategies they have learned.
Do you offer a guarantee?
For dogs who have completed our Boot Camp boarding and training program I offer a Lifetime Guarantee. This means that I will continue to work with owners who work diligently with their dog and follow my recommendations for as long as necessary. Restrictions apply.
Home Visits
I offer private lessons at your home or on location. Obedience lessons last between 70 and 80 minutes for best results. I’ve found that a slightly longer behavior modification lesson works best for aggressive dogs. Prices are per dog, but I can work with additional dogs at the same location as well. My zip code 48048.
Obedience training covers a wide range of needs, from basic to advanced, including housebreaking, socialization, separation anxiety, excessive barking, chewing, digging, clicker training, fitness… no matter what your goals are for your best friend, I can help you reach them!

This service is custom designed based on your goals for your dog.
For clients interested in this program, I require an initial consultation at your home so I can evaluate the situation and recommend the best program. All programs also include two to four free private lessons at my home afterwards.

Weight Loss for Dogs
Is your pooch is having hard time walking?
Is your dog too heavy? obese or just chunky?
Is your dog pulling on his leash? Therefore, discourages you from walking him?
Is your dog beginning to lose his waistline?
If you answered yes to any of the questions, you are in the right place.
In North America, obesity is the most common preventable disease in dogs.
Importantly, 90% of overweight cat owners and 95% of overweight dog owners incorrectly identify their pet's weight as normal and are therefore unaware
of their pet’s weight associated health risks.
We, humans, more or less have gotten used to dealing with the challenges of human obesity during the last few decades.
Thankfully, today we know effective ways of preventing and overcoming it. But now as it turns out, there is also pet obesity in the world.
There are certainly some obvious methods that are on the surface and no research is needed to identify them. Yes, to stay fit your dogs, cats need exercise just like we humans do.
Data:
2018
56% of all dogs in the US (2 million) are either overweight or obese (compared to 54% in 2016 and 52.7% in 2014).

19.6% are obese (compared to 19.8% in 2016 and 17.6% in 2014).
42.9% of all dogs in the US are of normal weight.
Diet restriction increases the lifespan of dogs by up to 1.8 years (16%)
