Dog Training FAQs

There is no exact timeframe because every dog and situation are different. There are so many variables that affect a dog’s behavior - the environment you live in, any potential underlying medical issues, your schedule and frequency of practicing homework, changes in life or routine, and who your dog is as an individual.

Ettel will go over how long similar cases have taken during our initial consult. Any estimate will only be an educated guess, at best. Generally, the more variables we can control, the better the prognosis. 

We offer multiple options to give you as much flexibility as possible.

The larger packages are great because they have a larger discount per session. It's also OK to go with multiple smaller packages, or stick to single sessions. Whatever works best for you and your family.

Ettel can make recommendations during your initial consult, but there is no wrong answer.

Every family has different needs. Generally speaking, we recommend once a week in the beginning to get everyone in the home onboarded and confident with the training program. Then we can reduce sessions to every 2-3 weeks, depending on schedules and needs.

Puppies, adolescents, and separation anxiety are usually every week.

We come to you! Whether at your home or a nearby park, depending on what you need to work on, we'll meet you there.

Keep in mind that weekends and evenings are the most popular and are booked quickly.

If you get a package, we recommend booking all of your sessions out so you can hold your slots. You can reschedule on your end as well!

Generally, yes. It's ideal if everyone in the home can be present, though we understand that life happens and that's sometimes not possible!
