HTML Website Creator1. What services do you offer?
We offer a range of dog training services including private sessions, puppy training, basic and advanced obedience, leash manners, behavior modification (e.g., reactivity or aggression), and more.
2. What types of dogs do you work with?
We train all breeds, sizes, and ages—from 8-week-old puppies to senior dogs, including those with behavioral challenges.
3. Is my dog too old to be trained?
Not at all! While early training is ideal, dogs of any age can learn new behaviors with the right guidance and consistency.
4. What types of training do you offer?
We use a variety of tools and techniques tailored to each dog’s individual needs. We emphasize in positive reinforcement about 90% of the time, using rewards to encourage good behavior. When necessary, we incorporate fair and humane corrections to help set clear boundaries, especially for safety or serious behavioral issues.
5. What kinds of tools do you use?
We use a range of tools based on the dog and the owner’s comfort level. During the assessment we will determine if the dog needs tools or doesn’t. These may include treats, clickers, slip leads, prong collars, or remote collars (e-collars) used at low levels for communication. We always take the time to explain each tool and how it’s used responsibly.
6. Will my dog be punished?
No. We do not use fear or intimidation. Any correction is fair and communicatory based on how dogs learn and communicate through scientific understanding, non-harmful, and meant to provide clarity, not punishment. Our goal is to build trust and communication, not fear.
8. How do I get started?
Start by booking a free 15 minute phone consultation here on the website. The next step is setting up an in person orientation that can be credited towards your training package total. We'll assess your dog, discuss your goals, and create a customized training plan tailored towards your lifestyle.
9. How long will it take to train my dog?
Training timelines vary depending on your dog’s age, temperament, and the consistency of practice at home. We’ll give you an honest estimate during your first session.
10. Do you offer training packages?
Yes, we offer single sessions packages. Visit our pricing page for more details on the packages we offer.
11. Can you help with aggression, reactivity, or fear-based behaviors?
Yes. These are some of our specialties. We take a calm, structured, and compassionate approach to behavior modification, focusing first on building trust and engagement, and communication.
12. My dog is reactive on leash - can this be fixed?
Leash reactivity is very common, and yes, it can be improved significantly with the knowledge Premium K9 provides and consistent work outside of our training sessions on your end. We’ll teach you how to build engagement, use tools responsibly, and communicate effectively with your dog.
13. What if my dog has already been through training but still struggles?
That’s not uncommon. We’ll assess what’s missing or inconsistent in their current training and help fill in the gaps.
14. When should I start training my puppy?
The best time is as early as 8 weeks old. We’ll focus on foundational skills like potty training, crate training, bite inhibition, and socialization.
15. Do you address problem behaviors in puppies (e.g., nipping, jumping)?
Yes, we cover common puppy issues and teach you how to prevent them from becoming long-term habits.
16. Where do you offer training?
We offer in-home sessions, public training (e.g., parks or stores). Some group classes may be available.
