FAQs

Q: Who are these Classes right for?
 
A: Traveling Dog Trainer Classes are designed for people living in small communities such as HOAs or apartment complexes who need their dogs to be good citizens of the community.
These Classes are also geared for dogs who are not aggressive towards people or animals and who are not severely fearful or timid. These issues require training geared specifically for remedying these problems that Lauren can best address in private lessons. The dogs brought to these Classes should be your “average Joe” dog, which could benefit from some training!
 
Q: How long do the Classes last?
 
A: For Complete Fundamentals, expect a full 1 hour on each scheduled day of the 10 days of Classes.  For Basic Training, expect a full 1 hour to completed in 5 days of Classes.  Please be prepared to be immersed in dogs and their training for the entire time you are here. You might need a day to recover afterward too!  Expect the frustration of learning a lot in a small amount of time, but rest assured that you will be quite satisfied with your new-found training abilities and your well-mannered dog!
 
Q: Do I need to have training/behavior knowledge to attend the Classes?
 
A: Although we will cover Loose Leash Logic, it is expected that each attendee will have at least a basic knowledge of dogs. There is both scientific and artistic/craftsman knowledge required of a dog trainer, and you will be taught everything you need to know in order to provide either Basic or Complete Fundamentals dog training for your participating dog once you have completed the Classes you attended.
 
Q: I am scheduled to attend an upcoming Classes. Can I have access to the Classes’s materials beforehand?
 
A: Sorry but the Classes materials are not available until the day of the Classes.
 
Q: I can’t attend a Classes, can I just buy the Classes Materials and Training Equipment?
 
A: Unfortunately not. Since the Classes provides the education necessary to properly use the Classes Materials and Training Equipment, they are not sold separately at this time. For online purchase of training instruction and materials, please visit Traveling Dog Trainer’s Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/TravelingDogTrainer
 
Q: How soon after registering is payment due?
 
A: All payment terms and due dates are outlined under the Rates tab.
 
Q: What happens if I need to cancel?
 
A: Traveling Dog Trainer understands that “life” happens, so there are cancellation policies in place for registrants who need to cancel or reschedule. Please see the terms at the end of the registration form for full cancellation policies.
 
Q: What should Classes participants plan to bring with them?
 
A: Please plan to bring the dog needing training. Many like to bring a large notebook for taking notes and holding forms. Definitely wear comfortable walking shoes and clothes you don’t mind getting dirty and slobbered on! You will be sent a detailed list of what you should plan to bring after you register.
 
Q: Do you have any trade secrets that you WON’T be sharing at the Classes?
 
A: The goal of the Classes is to teach you everything about Loose Leash Logic possible during your chosen Classes, so nothing will be kept secret!
 
Q: Is this REALLY the answer to my prayers?
 
A: This answer should be yes. Keep in mind that these Classes, like any formal education you receive, is largely dependent on what you put into it.  If you remain focused on the instruction and open-minded to constructive criticism (the goal is for you to be the best trainer you can be for your dog!), you ought to be the best dog trainer/handler your friends and family have ever encountered!
 
Q: I have more questions! What should I do?
 
A: Contact Lauren!  She looks forward to hearing from you!
