I did not previously work on training with my 2 cats and we did the ballet class and it has helped us so much on a daily basis. My cats both listen better and are more engaged and focused even when we aren't doing training sessions. I definitely recommend doing this class!

Find answers to commonly asked questions about our services.
No! The saying may go: "You can't teach an old dog new tricks", but in my personal experience, older animals have better attention spans, love learning new things, and have basic concepts figured out already which helps them learn faster.
New puppies and kittens have brains like sponges so they are taking everything in and eager to learn as well. More patience is necessary as their attention spans aren't as great as older pets, so you have to be prepared to break up the training sessions into smaller time spans.
Training actually works better in shorter sessions that can easily fit into your daily routine. Investing a little time now can save a lot of time and stress in the future by having a well-behaved pet.
The classes are designed to encompass all aspects of training, not just behavior. What a lot of animal behaviorists don't tell you is that all of these aspects directly impact the overall behavior of your pet.
If you have solely focused on behavior training in the past, it may not have worked. The training you have learned before may need to be supplemented with other training techniques to inspire your pet to do better.
I believe in setting (you and) your pet up for success, which eliminates frustration and produces results of which you can both be proud!
Our pricing is split up into yearly and monthly options. If you choose the monthly option, you will still have access to all of the content that you get in the yearly package (minus "special event" tutorials; example: Thriller tutorial for Halloween).
We should caution you, though, if you are thinking your pet will learn everything in one month, that is not realistic. A lot of pets need patience and learn on their own schedules. Each pet is different. We discourage you to "push" your pet to learn, or implement longer training sessions with your pets in an effort to fast track training because this will lead to them having negative feelings about their training.
Both pricing options renew automatically until you cancel the subscription. If you're unsure and want to purchase a monthly package, you can always cancel if you don't have the time, and renew again when you do. There's no pressure on you - and never any pressure on your pets!
