Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to the most common questions from dog owners.
Question 1: How long does training take and how long do results last?
You will see real improvement in the first week.
Most full programs take 2–4 months, depending on your dog and your goals.
Results last as long as you follow the simple daily rules we teach you.
Question 2: Do I need to buy a lot of treats?
No. We don’t train with treat bags.
Your dog learns through play, structure, and clear rules — not food bribes.
Question 3: Can my dog be off leash?
Yes. With proper training and consistency, your dog can have safe, real off-leash freedom.
Question 4: What is the minimum and maximum age?
We start puppies at 8 weeks.
There is no maximum age — older dogs can learn too.
Question 5: How many hours per day do I need to train my dog?
You don’t need hours. Just 20–30 minutes of simple daily play, plus following the rules I set for you.
Question 6: What happens if I stop training after graduation for 3 months?
Your dog won’t forget everything, but behavior can get sloppy. Keep the basic rules and do small refreshers, and your dog will stay on track.
Question 7: Do you take our dog, or do we come to your facility?
I come to your home. This saves you time, avoids traffic, and lets your dog learn in the place where the problems actually happen.
