FAQ

MOST COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How Much Does Your Training Cost?

At Total Dog! We provide our clients with custom-made training programs tailored to you and your dog’s unique needs. Our training programs vary from dog to dog in structure, layout, duration, and cost.

That’s why we don’t offer a one-program-fits-all solution. Instead, we offer a free consultation so that we can evaluate factors such as lifestyle, goals, age, temperament, breed, and previous training. That way, we can develop a custom-made training program that perfectly fits our client’s individual needs!

Is Training Really Unlimited?

We offer a Total Dog! dog obedience training package that includes unlimited lessons until your dog reaches the goals identified at the start of the program. Following the program’s completion, you’ll have the opportunity to extend your dog’s training to help them reach new goals.

Are There Breed Restrictions?

No, we don’t impose any breed restrictions. Total Dog! is an all-inclusive dog training service that specializes in private in-home dog training classes, puppy training classes, and boarding and training for dogs of all breeds and ages.

What’s The Best Age To Begin Training?

We believe the best way to establish a strong foundation for your dog’s behavior is to begin training as early as possible. Puppies are like sponges for new information, and it’s important to capitalize on this to build proper social skills and a solid foundation. However, this does not mean that mature dogs can’t thrive with appropriate guidance. At Total Dog!, we’re an all-inclusive service that addresses various training needs, ranging from basic commands to advanced obedience work. Don’t overlook a puppy’s early stages—this is when bad behaviors can take root, potentially leading to a fearful dog, separation anxiety, or aggression. Our goal is to help dog owners build a lasting bond with their pets, regardless of age or breed, because as long as they’re awake, they’re learning.

What Training Methods Do We Use?

We primarily use positive reinforcement techniques to gently shape your puppy’s behavior and lay a solid foundation for a well-behaved pup. Our expert dog trainers take into account each dog’s needs, ensuring a great experience for both you and your pup. By rewarding good behavior with treats, praise, and consistent guidance, we foster a stronger bond between owner and dog and a positive training experience. For dogs requiring additional support, we also offer behavior modification strategies to address specific challenges, ultimately helping every pet reach its full potential in a safe and supportive environment. At Total Dog, we’re devoted dog lovers who use effective methods to ensure your best friend has a fun place to develop their skills.

What Programs Do You Offer?

We offer in-home private dog training and dog boarding and training. We unfortunately do not provide group classes.
