has your training journey not been successful?

rhode island full behavior & health assessments

It can be extremely frustrating putting in the time, energy, and money into training for your dog, especially when you don’t see results.

The first step to any good behavior modification plan is to rule out pain and discomfort. A regular vet visit may not lead to any findings as dogs are great at hiding their pain when nervous.

This is the best starting point for training plans - don’t invest in a full training program before doing this assessment. It can save you a lot of time and money!

  • We only utilize methods that are rooted in:

    • Positive Reinforcement

    • Force Free & Fear Free

    • Choice based

    We never implement tools or methods such as prong collars, choke chains, shock collars, spray bottles, yelling, leash corrections, or any other aversive method.

    We are dedicated to quality, humane, and safe training methods.

  • We do not guarantee results as it is unethical to do so.

    Dogs are living, breathing creatures and we can never 100% predict their behavior. If you enroll in a program, we are always here to support you in any way to help you get the relief from your dog’s behaviors.

    If you are committed to the provided training plan, utilize the support features, ask questions so we can troubleshoot together, you are more likely to see the results you are looking for. We rely on a collaborative approach - it takes a village!

  • We absolutely do!

    We believe that quality training should be accessible to everyone.

    Please book a Discovery Call to discuss payment plans.

    If the payment plan still isn’t doable for you - we do offer a Sliding Scale to families who need them. Please inquire asap as we have limited availability on these discounted programs.
