Yes, and in many cases, those are the dogs that benefit the most from structured training. What often gets labeled as “stubborn” is usually a lack of clarity, consistency, or leadership. Once those pieces are in place, most dogs become much more willing and responsive.
That’s a normal part of the process. Training isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress. When a dog struggles, we adjust our approach, slow things down if needed, and help them work through it. Learning to handle pressure in a controlled, supported way is actually a key part of building confidence and reliability.
No. Dogs of any age can learn new behaviors when the right structure is introduced. While younger dogs may pick things up a bit faster, older dogs are absolutely capable of making meaningful changes. What matters most is consistency, leadership, and a clear plan.
Yes, but consistency at home matters. Our job is to teach your dog the skills and help you understand how to maintain them. Dogs don’t just listen to one person; they respond to clear communication, structure, and follow-through. When families continue using the routines and boundaries we show them, dogs transition home very successfully.

When dogs aren’t working on specific exercises, many participate in supervised play groups if they are social and enjoy them. These play sessions are structured and monitored to reinforce safe behavior. Dogs who prefer more personal space […]

There are many great uses for the ‘tone’ and the ‘vibrate’ modes, but these go beyond the degree of training our programs are designed to offer. If a dog is trained with only the ‘vibrate’ mode the untrained owner will have no other options if the […]
We are committed to helping each pet owner achieve the best possible relationship with his or her dog. We have over 30 year’s experience working with all types of dogs and their owners. Most people seek the assistance of a trainer when they realize their current approach is not working, and they do not know how to achieve the desired […]
While we would never absolutely forbid a visit while your dog is undergoing training, it is in the dog’s best interest if you can refrain. It is important for the dog to temporarily bond with us and look to us to meet his or her needs during the stay with us. If you come and go, the […]
We love this question because, as much as we adore working with dogs, we value working with their owners even more. This is where the magic truly happens! Each program offers varying levels of owner involvement, but every program includes daily interactions from us in the form of picture and video texts. These updates help […]
