Number One Rule – Never, Never Hit Your Dog.
Home visits are one hour long. Cancellation fee under 24 hours is $15.
Homework assignments are given at the end of the visit. It is recommended that everyone in the household dedicate at
least 15 minutes a day working with the dog one on one. Otherwise the home visits won’t be of value. Dog training is more
about training the owners then it is about training to dog.
