How it works

Every program starts with an evaluation form and an in-person evaluation covering temperament, goals and a skill check, followed by a customized program and a graduation certificate endorsed by Strategic K-9 Training. Pricing is quoted after the evaluation. Trainers reward with praise in place of treats, and some programs include an e-collar for off-leash training.

What to ask

Ask for a quote after the evaluation and whether your program includes e-collar work.
