Yes! We always allow Visits
We would never tell you that you could not come visit your dog during their stay, and while we send lots of pictures and videos, we know it doesn’t compare to actually seeing your dog in person! Our only big suggestion is to wait one week into the program to set up a time to come visit your dog.
The reason we suggest that waiting period is to minimize any confusion to your dog and help them transition back into the groove of things after you leave. Within that first week, your dog will build an amazing training relationship with their trainer, get used to all the sights and sounds of our house, learn a different daily routine, and be in the midst of learning a bunch of new behaviors and commands. We want to give them that time to really start to get a solid grasp on things. After that point, they are already so used to distractions as a part of their training routine that you coming to visit will not throw them off for the day. They can spend an hour hanging out and enjoying your company, and then be ready for a field trip to the park in the afternoon with no stress or confusion!
Do I Have to Visit?
Nope! While you are more than welcome to, most people have busy schedules and it can be hard to get away and visit during the program. We send lots of pictures and videos so that you can be totally immersed in your dog’s progress through the program. Our programs are also relatively short, so you are not away from your dog for too long, and they will fit seamlessly back into your life and routine at home once training is done. We also regularly have clients who overlap training with vacation time, some even out of the country, so you are never under an obligation to visit.
