FAQ

Common training questions

What kinds of goals can we work on?

Common goals include puppy foundations, basic obedience, leash manners, focus, confidence-building, and addressing behaviors like jumping, barking, or pulling.

Is private training better than a group class?

Private sessions are especially valuable for dogs who feel overwhelmed, distracted, or anxious around other dogs. They learn in a calm, focused environment where they can succeed.

Will I get coaching too?

Yes — training works best when owners understand how to reinforce the skills outside the resort. We make sure you leave each session knowing what to practice.

Group Training

Real-world skills, in a small group.

Group training helps dogs and puppies learn essential skills while practicing them around real-world distractions — building focus, impulse control, and confidence around other dogs and people. For puppies, it supports healthy socialization during critical learning stages. You'll also learn how to communicate clearly and consistently, resulting in better manners and a well-rounded, confident dog.
