It depends on the dog and the goals. Some issues can be addressed in a few sessions, while others (like reactivity or off-leash recall) take longer. We'll give you a clear plan and timeline after our initial evaluation.

Both! We offer in-home training for convenience and real-life results, and we also provide pick-up and drop-off for our Board & Train programs. You don’t have to lift a paw—we’ve got it covered.
- 07
Training should start right away once you bring your dog home, but it’s best to keep the training at home until your dog has received all the necessary vaccinations. It’s crucial to focus on teaching the right things and to set realistic expectations based on your dog’s unique abilities, rather than comparing them to other dogs.

Absolutely. Our goal is long-term success, so we provide guidance, follow-up sessions, and client support even after your program is done.

We specialize in addressing behavioral issues and have extensive experience working with dogs that others may have given up on. Let's discuss your dog's specific challenges—we've likely encountered similar cases and successfully turned them around. These types of dogs are often the most rewarding to work with and make up the majority of our cases.

Because dogs don’t learn through Zoom calls — and neither do most owners.
Online programs can throw information at you, but they can’t coach your timing, read your dog’s body language, or fix problems happening in real life. And let’s be honest — you don’t need more theory. You need results.
At PupNinja, we train you and your dog — in-person, hands-on, and in real-world scenarios where behavior actually happens.
Our goal isn’t to lecture you about dog psychology or training theory and philosophy. It’s to show you exactly what to do, when to do it, and how to build the kind of structure and leadership your dog understands and respects.
Training shouldn’t be trial and error. It should be clear, direct, and tailored to you.
That’s what we do. In-person. On leash. With results that last.
