Investing in dog training is a big decision. We believe in total transparency. Below, you’ll find clear answers to our most common questions about our methods, process, and commitment to your success.
What are your dog training methods and philosophy?
We are proudly a “Positive First” and science-based training company. Our philosophy is LIMA (Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive), which means we use the gentlest, most effective methods possible to teach your dog. We focus on motivating through rewards, encouragement, and fun, which creates a thinking, engaged dog who loves to learn and listen to you. This builds confidence and strengthens your bond, ensuring lasting results.
Do you offer private, in-home dog training?
Yes! All of our training is conducted through private, one-on-one lessons. We come to your home in the Orlando and Central Florida area to work with you and your dog in your actual environment, where problems occur. This ensures you get our undivided attention and a training plan 100% tailored to your dog’s specific needs, your lifestyle, and your goals.
What types of dogs and behavior issues do you work with?
We work with dogs of all ages, breeds, and backgrounds—from brand-new puppies needing a foundation to seniors enjoying mental stimulation. We specialize in everything from basic obedience and leash manners to more complex behavioral challenges like anxiety, reactivity, and fear. Every dog can learn and benefit from clear, compassionate communication.
Do you offer online or virtual dog training?
Absolutely. While we primarily serve Orlando and Central Florida, we use Zoom to connect with dedicated owners worldwide. Virtual training is highly effective for coaching you through specific challenges and for clients outside our local service area. We make it simple and will guide you through the easy setup process.

What is the Premier Puppy Kindergarten program?
This is our premier foundation package for puppies. It’s designed to give your puppy all the essential skills to become a polite, well-mannered adult dog. You’ll learn not just what to teach, but how to train so your puppy develops a lifelong love of listening to you. This program includes crucial socialization, potty training, bite inhibition, and more.
Do you offer other training packages?
Yes, we specialize in comprehensive training packages. During your initial contact, we’ll recommend a customized package based on your dog’s unique needs. We find that packages—rather than single lessons—are essential for creating the consistency and repetition needed for true, lasting behavioral change and a fully transformed relationship with your dog.
Why do you require packages instead of single lessons?
We are committed to your success, and consistency is the key to achieving it. Training is a process with ups and downs; each lesson builds upon the last. Packages ensure we can see the journey through to the finish line, providing you and your dog with the stability and repeated practice needed to make new skills permanent. We invest deeply in designing your custom plan, and packages allow us to focus entirely on your results.
What is your investment for private dog training?
Our private lessons start with a 2 hour Foundations Intensive session. We strongly recommend our training packages for the best value and results, which include personalized lesson guides and lifetime support. All pricing details and package options are clearly outlined in our Welcome Kit, which you will receive after completing our contact form. We stand by the exceptional value of our service, grounded in 20+ years of veterinary, psychology and dog training expertise.
Why is there an investment in training packages? What does it include?
Your investment secures a complete transformation experience, not just a one-hour session. It includes:
The peace of mind that comes from working with a certified professional with a background in veterinary medicine and psychology.
What is your refund policy?
We are committed to your satisfaction. Unused portions of any lesson package will be fully refunded upon request, provided the request is made within six months of your initial contact with us.
How do I get started?
The first step is to complete our New Client Contact Form. This allows us to understand your situation and ensures we can meet your needs. We will then send you our Welcome Kit with all details and the next steps to officially begin your journey. We do not schedule via phone to ensure we can provide the most thoughtful and prepared service for our committed clients.
