Yes, that is the whole point. Before your dog comes home you get a hands-on owner-transfer session where we teach you the commands, timing, and tools. You also get lifetime refresher support, so if anything slips you can come back free of charge for the life of your dog.

No. Our e-collars are communication tools, not shock collars. The sensation is like a phone vibration and lets us cue your dog clearly from a distance, the same technology trusted by military and police K9 units. Dogs learn from clarity, not fear. We will demonstrate it on our own skin at your free consultation.

Not when it is introduced correctly. We condition the e-collar at low, comfortable levels as a guidance signal, never as punishment for reacting. Every reactive or aggressive dog starts with an in-person evaluation so we build a plan that lowers stress and builds confidence. Evaluation is required for bite cases.

We use rewards and markers too. The e-collar simply adds clear, off-leash communication at any distance. Treats alone often break down around real-world distractions like other dogs or traffic. The e-collar gives reliable recall and safety when it matters most, without relying on a leash or food.

Most dogs show significant improvement in 2 to 4 weeks. The 2-Week Board & Train delivers reliable off-leash obedience for most dogs; the 4-Week Elite program handles complex behavior and severe aggression. Private lessons typically run 4 to 8 weeks depending on your goals and practice at home.

Yes, aggression rehabilitation is our specialty. We work with dog-to-dog and human aggression, resource guarding, and fear-based or territorial reactivity. Every aggressive dog starts with an in-person evaluation, and we give you an honest prognosis and a customized plan. Evaluation is required for bite cases.

Yes. Our service and therapy dog expert Misty trains working therapy and service dogs and knows federal service-dog regulations and public-access work. Dogs need solid obedience and the right temperament first, so we start with an evaluation. Call (972) 372-9225 to discuss your service-dog goal.

Puppies can start as early as 8 weeks. The critical socialization window is 8 to 16 weeks, and starting early prevents bad habits. Our Puppy Training Consultation is $100 and the 1-Week Puppy Board & Train ($850) is ideal for pups 8 weeks to 4 months. Call (972) 372-9225 to start.

Yes, proudly veteran-owned since 2014. Founder Justin Rie is a USMC veteran (Forward Observer) who served in Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. Six of our trainers are military veterans with USMC, USAF, and US Army K9 handling backgrounds.

It is a guideline for rescue dogs settling into a new home: in the first 3 days they may be overwhelmed, in the first 3 weeks they learn your routine, and in the first 3 months they feel secure and show their true personality. Professional training can speed up this adjustment.
