What Falling Water Residents Ask
How long does training take to see results?
Most Falling Water dog owners see noticeable improvement within the first 2-3 lessons. Consistency is key—if you practice what we teach, you'll see results fast. Basic Obedience (4 weeks) gives most dogs excellent everyday manners. Puppies may take longer for potty training, but behavioral improvements happen quickly.
Do you train in my neighborhood or do I come to you?
Both! Private lessons happen right here in Falling Water—we meet at local parks, your neighborhood, or wherever you normally walk your dog. This ensures your dog behaves where it matters most. In-Home Training means we literally come to your house. Board & Train happens at our facility, but we still practice in real-world Falling Water locations.
What if my dog has specific behavior problems?
We handle behavioral issues! While this page emphasizes basic training, we also offer specialized programs for aggression, reactivity, separation anxiety, and serious behavioral challenges. Call us at (423) 430-6559 to discuss your specific situation—we'll create a custom plan that works.
Is training safe and humane?
Absolutely. We use science-based positive reinforcement methods proven by PhD behaviorists like Dr. Pamela Reid and Dr. John Bradshaw. No shock collars, no harsh corrections, no "dominance" theories. Your dog learns through understanding and motivation—which makes training faster and strengthens your bond.
Can older dogs still learn new behaviors?
Yes! Adult and senior dogs often learn faster than puppies because they have better attention spans. We've successfully trained Falling Water dogs from 8 weeks to 12 years old. Age is rarely a problem—consistency and proper methods matter more. It's never too late to teach an old dog new tricks!
What's included in your lifetime support guarantee?
If your dog regresses, you have questions, or you need a refresher—even years later—we're here at no additional charge. Call us anytime. Email us questions. We'll troubleshoot with you. Most issues happen when owners don't practice consistently, so we help you stay on track. Your success is our success, guaranteed for life.
