*All programs are meant to be flexible, pending on the needs of the dog and their owner’s goals. It is not a guarantee that the dog will be fully trained at the end of the program timeframe. The dog may not be ready to advance to the next level and additional training may be needed. All programs can be extended at the agreement of the dog trainer and the owner. Every dog is uniquely different, as they do not learn at the same pace, potentially based upon their current circumstances, breed, learning ability, their past experience, what they have been exposed to and other factors.
