Back to Basics FAQs

Yes!
Extra dogs in the home are no additional cost.
However, if multiple pets in the home contribute to the "family drama," you might need more than 4 sessions. This can be addressed during your Discovery Call.
Can we work with multiple dogs in the home?

We're not opposed to using the harness you already have!
We're just picky about harnesses around here because ill-fitting equipment can increase the danger of dog's slipping/backing out and increases the risk of short term and long term injuries.
Because of this, we order appropriate harnesses for each client to make sure we're accommodating each dog's body structure and musculoskeletal movement.
My dog already has a harness. Do I have to get one with my program?

- basic obedience cues: reliably responding to their name, sit, stay, leave it, loose leash walking, touch, and coming when called
- house manners: not jumping on guests, avoiding demand barking, other unwanted behaviors
- any other problem behaviors your family would like to address
