Questions & answers
From Google
What people have asked about this business.
Do you offer Board & Train?
Yes. For families who need extra help or don’t have the time to do all the foundation work themselves, we offer board & train programs that include owner coaching on the back end. We don’t just hand you back a “trained dog,” we teach you how to keep that training alive at home.

What makes Training That Lasts different from other dog training companies?
We teach you how to get your dog to follow through because they trust you, not because they fear you, and not just for food. We use positive reinforcement like treats to mark the right behaviors, but the real secret is in your timing, your tone, your posture, and your consistency. We show you how to create clarity, not confusion. Dogs aren’t robots, they need structure and leadership that makes sense.
Community answer · Training That Lasts · 2025-09-21
Yes. But not with quick fixes or bark and e-collars. We help the dogs with big feelings, the ones that lunge, growl, snap, or shut down. We use behavior modification, desensitization, and counterconditioning to change how your dog feels about their triggers, not just how they act.
Community answer · Training That Lasts · 2025-09-21
Absolutely! Real-life behavior happens in your living room, your yard, your front door. That’s where we want to work. Our behavioral consultations give us the full picture and allow us to customize the plan for your home, your routine, your family and your dog.
Community answer · Training That Lasts · 2025-09-21
Before the bad habits start. We recommend starting between 8-10 weeks and continue on as that’s your golden window for socialization and foundational skills like crate training, leash exposure, and bite inhibition. Early training prevents future headaches. Think of that first few months like preschool for your dog.
Community answer · Training That Lasts · 2025-09-21
We offer Behavioral Consultations as a starting point to equip you with the tools you need to build a bond while learning to communicate together. We also offer puppy development, group sessions, structured walks, board-and-training, and 1 on 1 Training sessions. More importantly, we teach people how to lead their dogs with connection and consistency... because a well-trained dog without a well-informed owner still has a problem.
Community answer · Training That Lasts · 2025-09-21
A structured walk is a focused, leash-guided walk where your dog stays by your side. It builds impulse control, respect, and connection, not just exercise. You lead, they follow. Structure first, freedom later.
Community answer · Training That Lasts · 2025-09-21
No. We do not use shock collars, e-collars, or any form of electronic stimulation. We understand their place but we don't recommend using them. Our philosophy is rooted in trust, communication and building connection, not control through discomfort.

Tyler enlightened us with many practical tips and tools to address behavior issues we had with our two dogs. He shared insights on diet, discipline and how to achieve and maintain a connection with our dogs in order to obtain consistently positive behavior. We have seen improvement and progress from the moment he left. Excellent customer service!

We received our bernedoodle Georgia at 13 weeks after 3 weeks of training with Tyler. Since this is my partner’s and my first time raising a puppy, we wanted to ensure we were setting her up for success as best as we could. We are so glad we worked with Training That Lasts. At 13 weeks, Georgia has exceeded our expectations with basic commands, listening, and overall demeanor, and we have Tyler to thank for that. He was extremely communicative throughout the entire process, and spent two hours with us when he brought Georgia to help us with training tips. Thank you Tyler for setting up our wonderful girl!

Tyler is a very humble and honest guy no bs coming from him. The at home behavioral consultation was very helpful. Tyler gave us a lot of useful information. He went over behavioral advice and nutritional advice. He spent over 2 hours with us, he cares very much about his clients and dogs of all kinds! Highly recommend

I had a 2 hour consultation with Tyler and my 7 month old puppy Charlie! As the newest members of our job, my boss allows Charlie to come into work with me under one condition..that we get him some training. Since meeting with Tyler, we learned some methods to cut down on Charlie's barking and anxiousness significantly at work! My boss, co-workers, and customers are very happy! We love having Charlie at work but we need it to be an environment where he can control his behaviors and actions. Tyler has made this possible for us and also helped us out with some things in the home as well, such as going potty and things that we shouldn't potty on. We look forward to working with him again in the near future doing group training and also Wednesday walks!
