FAQ’s

  • Why a pack-based model instead of traditional group classes?

    Because life doesn’t happen in sterile training rooms. Pack training builds:

    Real-world reliability

    Stronger human–dog communication

    Confident dogs and confident handlers

    A supportive community, not just a class schedule

  • Do I have to sign a contract?

    Absolutely Not!

    You are free to cancel anytime if you don’t find training value in our program.

    The Only Commitment We Require Is A Commitment to the Relationship with Your Dog!

  • What if my dog has trained somewhere else?

    Great! If your dog has prior training, we’ll start with a skill check or assessment to make sure they’re a good fit for pack classes. Some dogs may only need minor tune-ups, while others benefit from a refresher Foundations course.

  • What do we do to join if we haven't taken a Puppy/Beginner class?

    Foundations are the fundamentals to a successful journey! We do require a Foundational class but we’ve got plenty of options!

    Loose Leash Walking Pros

    Urban Adventures

    Holiday Safety & Hazards

    Confidence Crew

    Classes focus on impulse control, environment neutrality, engagement, and real-world skills.

  • Is this suitable for reactive, anxious, or over-excited dogs?

    Yes — with the right support. Many dogs who struggle with arousal, anxiety, or reactivity thrive in this program aftercompleting Foundations or private sessions. We prioritize safety, consent, and individualized placement, and may recommend supplemental private training when needed.

  • What equipment is required?

    Most classes require:

    Flat collar or harness

    Standard 4–6 ft leash

    High-value treats

    No retractable leashes

    Some specialty classes may have additional requirements.

  • Do I need to attend every class?

    No — membership is designed to be flexible. Attend the classes that fit your lifestyle and goals. Consistency is encouraged, but not mandatory.

  • How do I get started?

    1. Complete a Foundations program or assessment

    2. Choose your membership tier
