Is KRU right for you?
-
Absolutely not. While it's great to start early, dogs of any age, from puppy to senior, can learn and change their behavior. We focus on understanding the motivation behind the behavior, which works regardless of how long the habit has existed. It's never too late to teach a dog a better way.
-
Group classes often fail because they don't address the core behavior issue in your home. We focus on private, 1-on-1 sessions in the actual environment where the problems happen. We train you to be the expert leader in your dog's life, which is the only way to get results that last.
-
Yes, and it's essential. Positive Reinforcement is the most ethical and effective method for complex issues like anxiety and fear-based reactivity. We are not just teaching tricks; we are changing how your dog feels about the trigger, leading to permanent, confident behavior, not just temporary obedience.
-
We believe so. You are paying for efficiency and expertise. You save travel time, you eliminate distractions, and you address the problem in its root environment (your living room). This dramatically accelerates progress, which ultimately saves you time and money compared to months of ineffective group classes.
-
Training is a team effort! While our sessions are focused, the consistency you provide daily is the magic ingredient. We provide clear, simple "homework" designed to fit your schedule. Expect to commit 10-15 minutes, 2-3 times a day to see the fastest, most durable results.
