Frequently Asked Questions

  • Everyone is welcome! It's important for everyone in the household to be on the same page. Consistency is key! Kids under 12 years old don't tend to tune in as well, but there are lots of seating areas in my training yard for them to hang out, as long as they can self-entertain.

  • Once per week is best, but as the sessions are private, we can go at your own pace.

  • All sessions in Puppy Kindergarten are held outdoors in my training yard in Lake Balboa. We have lots of shade, and lights for evening sessions.

  • Because the sessions are private, we schedule them at your convenience. Daytime, evening, and weekend time slots are available.
