Frequently Asked Questions
Do you use treats during training? I use a variety of rewards when working with pets, including treats.
Do you come to the dog or do we deliver the dog to you? I work with the pet in their home environment, or out in the real world. Training is also available at American Animal Hospital.
What equipment do you recommend for training? I recommend a flat collar and/or a harness, a standard 6’ leash for dogs, a variety of rewards, patience, and a sense of humor.
Do you use or recommend choke chains, pinch collars or e-collars/shock collars? No. I do not recommend, use, or work with dogs on any of these collars.
Are there any breeds you do not work with? No, I work with all breeds and mixes of dogs.
Do you offer boarding? No, I do not.
Do you offer daycare? No, I do not.
Do you offer grooming services? No. I have a fear-free grooming/vet visit program to help make home care as well as visits to the groomer and veterinarian easier, but I do not do any animal grooming.
Can you really train a cat? Absolutely! Cats can be trained in agility and even earn Trick Titles, as well as everyday manners and basic behaviors.
What is your cancellation policy? I have a 24 hour cancellation policy.
I live outside Omaha, can you still train my dog/cat? Yes! Online training works really well and you receive the same coaching/training/advice as in person sessions. Additional fees are assessed for in-person sessions outside of the immediate Omaha area.
Do you offer classes? I have a variety of online classes available and some in-person classes available. Contact us for a complete schedule.
