Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Our Private In-Home evaluation is the first step on the road to building your relationship with your dog. We will come out to the house and conduct a one-on-one evaluation where we will meet and work with your dog, discuss your dogs history, answer any questions you have, and design a custom training program for you. This is a great way for us to get to know you and your dog.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Our master trainer and founder has worked with multiple company's and has gone to multiple schools. He is a graduate of the Animal Behavior College and is also a member of the International Association of Canine Professionals. He also is an evaluator with AKC.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
All of our pricing is unique to our clients and their situation. This way we only charge our clients for what they need and not for anything they don't need.
How did you get started in this business?
Coty’s dog training technique was developed after almost a decade and working numerous dogs. He worked with multiple popular training styles and techniques and combined the best of each so that way he could help any dog with any problem. Our training technique is very adaptable and uses all quadrants of operant conditioning because every dog and owner learns different and we don’t expect every dog to learn just one way.
Our Training technique has broken down into a step-by-step program very easily taught by trainers/consultants and very easily learned by the owner and his/her dog. We’re focusing on problem solving, behavior modification, basic obedience, advanced obedience, and off leash obedience. We also do more advanced training programs like therapy dogs, service dogs, personal protection dogs, and emotional support animals.
What types of customers have you worked with?
We help owners from all walks of life. We train with all dogs and all breeds. We specialize in aggression and anxiety but also work with average everyday pets as well. From basic obedience to severe aggression, no job is too much for us.
