## Frequently asked questions
### How much does training cost?
Initial consultation: $145. Puppy Foundations 6-week package: $885. Group classes (4-week): $385. Private 1:1 in-home (single session): $245. Reactive Dog Rehabilitation 8-session package: $1,485. Day Training week (5 days, 90 min/day): $785. Free consultation before any package commitment.

### How long until I see results?
Puppies: meaningful behavior change in 2-4 weeks of consistent practice. Reactive adult dogs: noticeable improvement in 4-8 weeks, transformation typically 12-24 weeks. Severe behavior cases: 6+ months. We give you realistic timelines at consult — no “quick fix” promises.

### Why no prong or e-collars?
Aversive tools suppress behavior through pain or fear, but they don’t change the underlying motivation. They cause spike fallout (worsened reactivity, bite escalation, learned helplessness) at significant rates. The peer-reviewed research is clear — positive reinforcement is more effective AND lower-risk. We don’t cut corners with your dog’s welfare.

### Do you handle aggressive dogs?
Yes for most cases. Bite history with humans (Level 3 or higher on the Dunbar scale) we co-treat with a board-certified veterinary behaviorist and may require additional medical workup. We don’t treat dogs alone whose case requires medication management — that’s a veterinarian’s scope.

### Do you do board-and-train?
We don’t do residential board-and-train (sending your dog away for 2-4 weeks). The research shows results don’t transfer reliably to the home environment, and force-free board-and-train is logistically very expensive. Day Training (your dog stays home, we come in 90 min/day for 5 days) gets equivalent results without the separation.
