How frequently should we schedule training sessions?

We recommend scheduling training sessions once a week, with intervals of 5 to 7 days. This allows you and your dog to retain the skills learned while avoiding burnout.

What should I bring to the evaluation and training sessions?

For the evaluation, please bring your dog's leash and collar, along with a favorite toy and treats. After the evaluation, we will provide you with specific recommendations on what to bring for the training sessions.

Can you make recommendations for training tools?

Definitely! Our extensive experience with various training aids allows us to recommend the most effective options for your dog that fit within your budget.

What if I have questions between sessions?

You can contact us via text or email; please call for more urgent matters. Providing videos is particularly useful if we haven’t seen the behavior previously.

What makes you different from other dog training companies?

Dog training is a largely unregulated industry. In Washington, no formal experience or training is required, and the law only mandates a business license. At TM Dog Training, we go beyond these minimums by being certified, licensed, and insured to provide the highest standards of care and professionalism.

Our clients benefit from continued guidance, troubleshooting assistance, and personalized advice both during and after the completion of the training program. Drawing from our extensive research and experience with multiple types of training methods, we tailor our support to best suit your dog's unique needs. This ongoing support ensures that you and your dog maintain progress and successfully address any challenges that may arise over time.

What discounts do you offer?

We offer a 20% discount to seniors and current/former members of the military for evaluations and training.

Do you provide a satisfaction guarantee?

Dogs are sentient beings, not programmable machines. While we cannot guarantee 100% success for every case, consistent participation in training sessions combined with regular practice between sessions will ensure satisfactory results.
