Q: Do you offer a guarantee? What happens if my dog doesn't learn/respond?
A: Due to the many variables involved in training and living with dogs, it would be impossible to guarantee 100% results with any dog. The training we provide has been proven to provide impressive and lasting results, but REQUIRES that the owners of the dogs are committed to follow-through, consistency in maintaining the training provided, and continuing to provide the fair and consistent leadership and management that their dogs require. The levels of leadership, management, and continued training will vary, depending on the dog and living situation.
