Frequently asked Questions
Why you should choose me?
My goal is to set you and your pooch up for success with long-lasting results. Coaching the dog’s family is just as important as the process of training the dog, perhaps even more so! The skills you learn from Pooch and Serenity will be an investment in the relationship with the dog you have now and every dog you ever share your heart and home with.
What method do you use to train?
We strive for learner-centered, minimally stressful, and thoughtful training sessions with all species. We use gentle methods based on the most current science of dog training and behavior.
What are the advantages od private in-home training sessions?
Private training is customized. It fits your schedule. We have better control of distractions so you and your dog can concentrate on the task at hand. We work exactly at your family’s pace and provide more personalized instruction which means no wasted time.

How quickly can I expect to see results?
Depends. If your dog has been practicing an undesirable behavior for 2 years, it won’t change in 2 weeks. Often we can provide the information needed in our consultation to train the new behavior with no follow-up sessions, but practice is the key to success. Many behaviors will take multiple sessions. If you want us to do the training, a few visits each week will get results quickly. Your dog will learn faster with a Good Human trainer teaching because we do this daily. Expect the best outcome if you do the training too.
Can you guarantee the training will stick?
If you are consistent, follow your trainer’s instructions and you are kind in training your dog, we guarantee you will see a change in behavior.
