Dedication to a hands-on approach is a key ingredient to success
Understand that while we try to make training fun and light, there is no substitute for time and patience. The amount of effort you put into your training can mean the difference between a happy home life and one full of uncertainty. This effort includes a very hands-on approach with your expert with followups to ensure the training is working as intended.
That’s why we have our pet parents stay for all training and do not send our pets away to train with others. A genuine working relationship between pet and pet parent is absolutely essential for long term success.
