Common Questions

What is your training methodology?

At the Canine Training Company, we believe that happy dogs make the best students. We want your dog to enjoy the learning process. We do not believe in a one-size-fits-all training approach, or that dogs should be dominated and shown whose "alpha". This is why we focus heavily on positive reinforcement ( food, play, praise) and decide which training aids are best based off your dogs personality and needs.

Do you have videos of dogs trained by your company?

We do! If you want to get a better sense of our training style, programs, or what our private lessons entail, check us out on Facebook or Instagram Canine Training Co. to see dogs, trainers, and owners in action!

Do Board & Trains really work?

Absolutely! Board & Train programs are a fantastic option.

We often hear, "But if I'm not doing all the training how will my dog know to listen to me?" The best way to think of Board & Train programs is like kids going off to school. We have dedicated our lives to being teachers. We know how to help your dog learn, and how to properly encourage them through things they may struggle with. What we do is lay the foundation, so that when your dog comes home, they understand what is being asked of them. What makes the Canine Training Co. different from most dog training companies is we work with owners at their homes, at parks, or anywhere else they were previously struggling. This ensures you feel confident in your ability to get your dog to listen.

What will my dog be doing during their Board & Train Program?

Besides learning, your dog gets to; play outside in the yard, have individualized attention from the trainer, go on field trips to parks and pet stores and help out at lessons. This is what sets us apart from other dog training companies. Your dog will be treated to a home-like environment while with us. We believe that playing and keeping things low-stress for your dog is vital for their learning experience, which is why we only take on a few dogs at a time.

Do you work with all dog breeds?

Yes, we work with all breeds of dogs! Whether it's a Private Lesson or a Board & Train program, we welcome all breeds.
