FAQ’S About Kennel Master Course In Gainesville, GA
For your first session, we typically recommend owners bring a leash, a flat collar (no prong collars), and either treats or toys, depending on what motivates their dog. If your dog has specific dietary needs or training tools you’ve been using, let us know in advance so we can advise you. During your initial consultation with Custom Canine Unlimited, we’ll provide clear guidance on any additional requirements for your specific program to ensure you and your dog are fully prepared.
The length of our programs depends on your dog’s starting point and the goals you’d like to achieve. Foundational obedience programs may run for several weeks, while more advanced behavior modification or specialized training programs may require a longer, structured timeline. After evaluating your dog, we’ll outline a clear training plan and timeline so you know exactly what to expect and how we’ll work together to achieve your desired outcome.
