Do I get to Train My Dog?

Absolutely. Our Custom Canine Coaching is designed to guide, and support you through the your struggles to find the peace you deserve.

Do we have to meet once a week?

Ideally yes, meeting once a week provides you with a full week to put the things we learned into practice throughout the week. There are no set times that you have to work with your dog, that's unrealistic, but if you put in five or 6 minutes of spread across the day, everyday, you can find success.,

Your mileage may vary depending on; individuals struggle, and difficulty of the behavior according to the learner.

What does Custom Canine Coaching Mean?

We guide you down a customized path to find the solutions to the struggles you are facing. You get a Custom Canine!

And Coaching, means you will walk alongside an expert trainer to find the path you and your dog can walk together

My dog is too old/ too young to learn anything.
