do you work with all dogs?
We work with most breeds of dogs and puppies. Occasionally, there are dogs we will be unable to train, due to aggression or training requests beyond our scope of practice. We will know during a brief phone conversation if your dog is a good fit for our dog obedience training and we will be up front and honest about the recommended steps to train your dog. We do not offer specialty training such as service dogs, guard dogs, or K9 dogs.
Do you offer a guarantee?
It is unethical to offer a guarantee of your dog's behavior because you can NEVER guarantee the behavior of any living being. We can't even predict our own behavior with 100% accuracy in any given situation, let alone an animal of another species.
As a good standing member of CATCH Canine Trainers Academy, I willingly pledge NOT to offer a guarantee of your dog's behavior. However, I CAN guarantee professional customer service, punctuality, and a commitment to helping you the best I can to reach your dogs goals.
