FAQs

Get your questions answered!

1How do I get started?

We start our process with a free consultation. Fill out our contact form here. Once we receive your contact form, we will reach out to schedule a phone consultation. After a phone consultation we can determine if we need to evaluate the dog before training starts. During your phone consultation we will go over the goals and obstacles you'd like to overcome with your canine partner and formulate a training plan that can help you obtain them.

2What breeds do you work with?

Dewayne trains with all breeds big and small. All dogs have the capacity to learn once you find out what motivates them. We develop our programs around the dog and owner to create the best success!

3What is the best age to start training?

The best time to start training is the moment you get the dog! Everything your dog is going to experience effects the end goals you have. Dewayne offers training to dogs as early as 8 weeks old. No dog is too old to train but the older the dog is the more undesired habits they tend to have. It’s always easier to start with a blank canvas, but we are very successful with all levels of rehabilitation. Old dogs CAN learn new tricks!

4How long does training take?

We start our process with a free consultation. During that consultation we will find out what your goals are. Once we establish your goals and find what obstacles we’ll need to overcome, we can create a timeline for success!

5My dog is aggressive, what do I do?

Most dog aggression stems from fear! Proper communication and expectations remove confusion and fear. We teach you how to be a leader for your dog so they don’t have to be. Once your dog understands the expectations and that you will advocate for them they no longer feel the need to defend themselves and follow your lead.

6What methods do you use?

Dewayne has been a dog trainer for over 17 years. He has learned to use a vast variety of tools and techniques. We provide success to the owner and dog that is in front of us. Rather than using a predesigned program, we develop the program based on you and your dog's needs. We want you to be comfortable with the tools and techniques. The more comfortable you are the more successful you will be!

7What is the cost to get my dog trained?

Every dog and dog owner are unique and so are their goals and expectations. We customize a program to fit those specific needs to create success for you and your dog! Pricing will vary based on goals discussed during your consultation.

8Will my dog listen after training?

Consistency is key in dog training! As long as the dog owner continues with clear communication and holds the dog to the expectations established, your dog will be just as successful with you as they are with us!

Lifetime Guarantee

After you and your dog complete one of our courses, we guarantee that training for the life of the dog! If you're having trouble we're just a phone call or email away! Once you graduate, not only do you have Dewayne to support you and your dog, you also become part of our dog FAMILY! Every client that has graduated gets access to our support class where other family members like yourself meet and train together to grow and challenge each other in our training.

We Care

Dogs are our passion! We love sharing our passion with others. Quality of training starts with the care of the dog. There is no better joy than when we are able to change a client and dog's life! When people tell me things like; "You were our last hope", or "You have changed our family's lives", it brings nothing but pure joy to my soul! Whether we're training dogs to keep drugs off our streets, weapons of mass distruction from harming innocents, or just teaching fido not to drag mom down the street, we love having an impact on others and making their lives better!
