FAQs
Why don’t you offer single sessions?
1
Single sessions can be useful for information.
They’re rarely enough for change.
The work we do involves pattern-shifting and habit forming—for dogs and humans—which requires continuity, context, and follow-through. Without that, we’re often just addressing symptoms, not the underlying dynamics that keep problems repeating.
We choose not to offer one-off sessions because they don’t reflect the level of care, responsibility, or outcome we stand behind.
Why do you prioritize depth over speed?
2
Because fast results that don’t hold aren’t actually results.
Our focus is on training that integrates into daily life—how the dog moves through the home, responds under stress, and navigates the real world alongside their people. That kind of change happens through layered learning, repetition, and support over time.
Depth creates stability.
Speed without depth often creates relapses.
What does residential training actually mean?
3
Residential training means your dog lives with us for a set period of time while training is underway.
During that time, we work with the dog daily in real-life environments—inside the home, outdoors, and in controlled public settings. This allows us to build foundations, address behavior patterns at their root, and create consistency that’s difficult to replicate with occasional sessions alone.
Owner transition and education are an essential part of this process. Residential training is not a handoff—it’s a collaboration with a structured re-entry plan.
Yes.
We work with puppies when the focus is development, foundation, and prevention—not just early obedience cues.
Puppy training with us is about shaping how a dog learns, regulates, and moves through the world as they mature. Our puppy programs are designed to set dogs (and owners) up for long-term success rather than quick milestones.

Do you work with puppies?
Why might we not be the right fit?
5
We may not be the right fit if you’re looking for:
A quick fix or guaranteed timeline
Drop-in sessions without follow-through
Training that focuses only on commands, not context
Someone to “fix the dog” without owner involvement
Our work is best suited for people who want lasting change, are open to learning alongside their dog, and value a thoughtful, structured process.
