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.
