    How long until I see results from training?
    Many owners see improvements after the first session—like calmer leash walks and better focus. Lasting results come from consistent practice at home, which we coach you through step‑by‑step.
    Do you work with reactive or aggressive dogs?
    Yes. We specialize in high‑drive and reactive dogs. We create a clear plan that prioritizes safety, structure, and gradual exposure so your dog can stay calm and make better choices.
    What tools do you use (e‑collar, prong, etc.)?
    We’re balanced trainers. Tools are introduced thoughtfully and only when appropriate for the dog and goals. We always teach foundation skills first and show you how to use tools fairly and clearly.
    What’s the difference between private sessions and board & train?
    Private sessions focus on teaching you handling skills while we work your dog together. Board & Train is immersive—your dog stays with us to jump‑start progress—then we transfer the training to you through structured follow‑ups.
