These plans are longer than other trainers I have looked at or worked with?

Good, they are…much longer. So many times I have had the honor of being the second, third, fourth sometimes even fifth trainer people have worked with and a common thing I have heard them say is: “and then our lessons were over and I didn’t know what to do and their only option was to do it again or a board and train” or “I couldn’t keep up with what they wanted me to do in that time frame” and I GET IT! Life is busy, complicated, messy and layered. It’s hard to do everything you need to do as a human let alone a dog parent with a challenging dog. Our programs are designed to create real change for real people while they are living real life.

Many changes for your dog’s behavior can be done quickly and seems like magic and then there are things that are much more complicated and feel like you are hitting your head against a brick wall. You are learning just as much as your dog and you are the MOST important piece of the puzzle, after all you are your dog’s trainer. We give enough time in our programs for people to learn just as much as the dog. We also know many behavioral issues are layered and we need to address each issue. We know life changes – people get pregnant, move, have in-laws move in, get another dog, get sick etc. whatever life throws at you we will be there to help you navigate life’s changes with your dog. We are here for the long run and to support you, your dog and your family! That’s why we have plans that are long and truly support people and their pups.

I don’t see any Google reviews…why?

Fair question, previously I was a Marketing Director and every day I worked with business owners on their reviews and status online. Throughout this journey I learned a few things – the most successful businesses I worked thrived because of word of mouth and reviews were nice to have but their businesses didn’t rely on it and the businesses that heavily relied on reviews and paid marketing were missing something, usually not providing their customers the experience/results they wanted consistently. This made me think of how I wanted to spend my time as a business owners/dog trainer. I am so grateful that I have been able to be in business for two years and fully rely on word of mouth to be successful, especially in this day an age. This has allowed me to fully focus on training dogs, supporting my human clients, furthering my education and developing the business. I am happy to provide information for testimonials and my clients are happy to talk about their experiences! As we scale our business, we know reviews and online presence will be important so we may be asking for reviews in the future but for now, we are just so happy to be able to keep out focus on what matters – the dogs and their people.
