​

 

How quickly can I expect to see behavior changes in my dog?

Each dog and person learns at their own pace, and the journey to improvement varies. Many of our clients notice positive changes within just a few days. Still, embracing the process without expecting an "instant fix" is important. True behavior change is a gradual journey that requires patience, commitment, and an open mind. Our programs are designed for those willing to actively participate in their dog's learning experience through consultations, videos, and participation in our supportive community.

 

Is there an age limit for teaching my dog?

No, there isn't! It's never too early or too late to start! Whether your dog is a puppy or in their golden years, our methods are designed to enhance learning at any stage of life. Early intervention can help prevent unwanted behaviors, but new habits can be taught and reinforced at any age. Every dog can benefit from learning, no matter when you begin.

​

What if I enroll in a program that's not right for my needs?

We understand your needs may evolve and are committed to helping you find the best fit. If the program you've selected doesn't feel right, we'll gladly help you switch to one that's better suited for you and your dog. Just reach out to us at droptheleashdogtraining@gmail.com, and we'll explore other options to ensure your goals are met.

​

Can I teach my dog even if I'm not a professional?

Absolutely! Our goal is to empower dog owners of all experience levels. With over three decades of experience, we've guided thousands of people to develop strong, healthy relationships with their dogs. You don't need to be a professional—just open to learning and partnering with us to teach your dog using humane and effective strategies.

 

What methods will we use for behavior change?

We use humane, science-based methods focusing on positive reinforcement and understanding your dog's natural behavior. Our approach is rooted in kindness, respect, and clear communication, creating a supportive learning environment for you and your dog. Our methods prioritize building a strong connection through mutual trust and reinforcement.

​

Do I need special equipment for teaching my dog?

In most cases, no special equipment is needed. We focus on tools and resources you likely already have at home. Occasionally, we may suggest specific aids based on your dog's unique learning style and your goals, but the heart of our work is simple, effective communication and natural reinforcement strategies that lead to lasting improvements.
