Frequently Asked Questions

We specialize in balanced, fear-free dog training focused on real-life results. That means structure, calm, and obedience in your home and in public—not just trick training. Whether you’ve got a reactive dog, a wild puppy, or just need a tune-up, we tailor the training to your dog and your lifestyle.

It means we use clear communication—not just cookies and “good boys.” We teach dogs what to do and what not to do. It’s firm, fair, and fear-free. Dogs thrive when they understand boundaries, structure, and leadership—and we teach that with a customized, compassionate approach.

Yes! All training starts with a 2-hour in-home consultation where we assess your dog, your goals, and your daily routine. Then we build a plan from there. Most sessions start at home and move into public spaces once the foundation is solid.

All kinds—puppies, rescues, seniors, and especially dogs with behavioral issues like reactivity, anxiety, leash pulling, and general chaos. We love a good challenge. If your dog has behavior that’s stressing you out, let’s talk.

Nope. And here’s why: group classes don’t give you or your dog the personalized help you need. We focus on one-on-one training, so you get real results, not just controlled class behavior. We do, however, offer Pack Walks for qualified clients through our Ruffneck Rovers program.

We show up for our dogs! 

It’s our invite-only Pack Walk crew—a group of dedicated dogs and humans committed to continued training and calm in public. Every walk is a mission, and every step reinforces the structure we teach. You’ll earn your spot. And it’ll be worth it.

Simple—book your in-home consultation. We’ll meet your dog, evaluate behavior, discuss your goals, and lay out your customized training plan. No pressure, no fluff—just clarity and a real path forward.
