How much does dog training cost?
The first training session is $99. This is a hands-on evaluation where we assess your dog and create a clear training plan.
Training packages are:
✔ 3 sessions: $399
✔ 5 sessions: $599
✔ 10 sessions: $999
Most dogs show strong progress within 4–5 sessions depending on consistency and goals.
Pricing can vary based on your location and your dog’s specific needs. Every program is tailored to you.
What if I have multiple dogs? Does pricing change?
The same pricing applies. You may need a larger package depending on your dogs’ needs and your goals.
Most dogs benefit from individual training first so they can learn clearly without distraction.
If your dogs have similar training needs, we can include structured “group-style” sessions when appropriate.
We always adjust the approach to make training as effective and efficient as possible for your household.
The best plan is determined during your first session after evaluating your dogs, your routine, and your goals.
We’ve successfully trained households with up to 9 dogs — it’s absolutely doable with the right structure.
What payment methods are accepted?
- Cashapp
- Venmo
- Payment via Card (per Invoice)

Do you offer Payment Plans?
We offer Payment Plans via Afterpay.
Both options offer to either Split your Purchase into 4 interest free payments
or you can choose to pay monthly.
Do you work with aggressive dogs?
We do not train dogs with a bite history or dogs that are a safety risk.
Do you offer behavior training?
Yes. We help with barking, reactivity, anxiety, leash pulling, jumping, hyperactivity, and other behavior problems.
Which service is right for my dog?
The right service depends on your dog’s age, behavior, and goals.
The first step is always the evaluation session. We begin training right away, assess your dog, and build a plan tailored to your needs.
You don’t need to figure anything out beforehand. We guide you through the entire process and adjust everything to your dog.
Where does training take place?
Training starts in your home so your dog can learn in a familiar environment without pressure.
Once your dog is ready, we move into real-life environments like parks, stores, and busy areas.
Do you come to my home?
Do you come to my home?
Yes. All training is done in your home and real-life environments so your dog learns where it actually matters.
What areas do you serve?
We provide dog training in Suwanee, Buford, Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Duluth, Lawrenceville, Sugar Hill, and Gwinnett County.
When can training start?
Training can start as early as 8 weeks old. Starting early helps prevent problem behaviors and builds strong foundations.
Is my dog too old for training?
No. Dogs of any age can learn. We regularly work with older dogs and help them build reliable behavior.
Do you work with all breeds?
Yes. We work with all breeds, sizes, and ages.
What does training include?
What does training include?
Training covers obedience, behavior, leash skills, impulse control, and real-life situations. Everything is tailored to your dog and your goals.
Will I be part of the training?
Yes. You will learn how to guide your dog clearly so the results carry over into daily life.
How quickly will I see progress?
Most owners notice improvement quickly once structure and consistency are applied. Many dogs show clear progress within the same session and further more consistent progress within just a few sessions.
What do I need for training?
Please have treats ready, a leash, and a collar or harness. We will guide you on anything else if needed.
Can I start training before my puppy is fully vaccinated?
Yes. In-home training can safely begin before your puppy is fully vaccinated so you can start early.
Do you offer socialization?
We focus on controlled, structured exposure instead of uncontrolled interactions. This helps your dog stay calm and confident in real situations.
What methods do you use?
We use positive reinforcement with treats, praise, toys, and clear communication to help your dog learn effectively.
Do you use shock or prong collars?
We do not use shock collars.
In rare cases, a prong collar may be introduced for safety with strong dogs, only with your approval and clear guidance.
How do I get started?
Book your first session online. We will assess your dog, explain everything clearly, and create a plan that fits your goals.
