Puppyhood and Adolecence
Our training team is here to guide you through the wild stages of puppyhood and adolescence. With online support, in-person lessons, and comprehensive resources, we help you navigate this phase with clarity, confidence, and practical tools that work in real life.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
All private dog training sessions are 60 minutes and offered as a Single Session, 4-Pack, or 6-Pack. Custom training packages are also available and can be tailored to meet your specific goals.
-
Our private, one-on-one dog training sessions are scheduled around your availability. Once you submit a booking request, our team will reach out to confirm your appointment and learn more about your training goals.
-
To work with a certified dog trainer means you are being guided by someone who has been independently evaluated for their knowledge, experience, and ethical, science-based training practices. It ensures your trainer is committed to professional standards, continued education, and your dog’s overall well-being.
-
Positive reinforcement (R+) training focuses on rewarding behaviors that you want to see more of, using things your dog finds meaningful, like treats, play, or praise, rather than punishing mistakes. This approach builds clear communication, confidence, and trust while supporting your dog’s emotional well-being and long-term learning.
-
Every dog is an individual and progress depends on factors like history, environment, consistency, and follow-through between sessions. Because dog training isn’t a one-size-fits-all process, we do not offer guaranteed results.
What we do guarantee is that our training is ethical, science-based, and focused on setting you and your dog up for long-term success. We provide clear guidance, realistic expectations, and ongoing support, so you’re never left guessing how to move forward.
-
Dog walks and adventures are not included outside of training sessions. We recommend booking walks and adventures through Monterey Dog so our trainers can communicate directly with our walking team, helping reinforce and support your dog’s training in real-world settings.
