Many trainers were initially surprised by the significant progress their clients achieved through online training, but it now seems quite clear. With the trainer not being physically present, they cannot train the dog "on your behalf." Instead, online sessions are about empowering you to build a strong, communicative relationship with your four-legged companion. You become the expert, guided by professional advice. It's a partnership, and you're in the driver's seat, transporting your dog to confident, well rounded adulthood.

Training virtually saves you time and gas money. You can even get the whole family involved in training--kids are welcome! It's also a great option for pet parents who don't have access to local trainers.

Training at home allows dogs who are fearful, reactive, or easily distracted to participate in group classes. It also allows their handlers to build skills without other dogs or people present. Dogs who dread riding in the car can enjoy training without the stress of a car ride.

One of the advantages of online training is the ability to record, share, and review videos both during and between lessons. This is a great tool for monitoring progress, getting feedback, troubleshooting, and sharing your successes! Every Zoom session is recorded, so you can go back and review at your convenience.

You also have the ability to virtually "bring" your trainer along to coach you through challenging situations.
