Frequently Asked Questions

Training sounds like a big investment. How can I be sure it’s worth it?

You’re right, professional pet training is an investment, but it’s an investment in the joyful, harmonious life you dream of sharing with your pet. While doing nothing costs nothing upfront, it won’t address existing challenges or prevent future ones from developing. DIY training can be frustrating and often yields inconsistent results. By investing in a certified trainer, you gain access to thousands of hours of experience, extensive knowledge, and proven methods. We’ve already navigated the pitfalls and learned from countless training scenarios, allowing you to bypass trial-and-error and achieve lasting, pawsome results more efficiently.

Why should I hire a trainer instead of doing it myself?

While the DIY approach to pet training might seem appealing, it often leads to frustration and inconsistent results. Investing in a qualified, certified trainer provides you with immediate access to a wealth of experience gained from working with hundreds of animals. We’ve dedicated ourselves to continuous learning, and we stay up-to-date on the most effective, science-backed techniques, tips, and tricks. This means you skip the guesswork and common pitfalls. By working with a professional positive reinforcement trainer, you get proven strategies that make training easy, fun, and effective, leading to the pawsome results you desire.

What happens during the initial consultation?

The initial consultation session is a deep dive into your pet’s world and your training goals. We'll equip you with simple, effective techniques that often bring immediate relief for pressing issues. We'll chart a personalized and achievable training plan, and then we’ll jump into hands-on training tailored to your pet’s needs. We’ll also talk through any questions you have and make plans for future sessions to ensure a clear path to success.

Do I have to use treats forever?

No, you don't have to use treats forever, but we do recommend always reinforcing desired behaviors with something your pet values. Just like most of us wouldn’t continue to work a 40-hour week without ongoing paychecks, your pet will be more likely to do as you ask when they receive a reward for their efforts. As your pet’s new behaviors become more reliable, we’ll guide you on how to fade out constant food rewards and replace them with intermittent reinforcement and/or other rewards like praise, play, or access to other preferred activities. This ensures the learned behaviors remain strong and sustainable, even without endless treats.

Set Your Kitten Up for a Lifetime of Happiness!

Kittenhood is a critical time for learning the critical skills they need to confidently navigate life. By investing in kitten training now, you’re not just preventing future frustrations, you’re building a lifetime of harmonious moments, cherished memories, and an unbreakable bond with your well-adjusted companion. Don’t wait to create the confident, well-mannered cat of your dreams.
