FAQs
How long is each session?
Each private session is approximately 1–1.5 hours. Troy takes the time needed to make sure you understand your dog, the cause of the behavior, and exactly what you should practice between sessions. The goal is not just to train your dog during the appointment, but to give you the knowledge to create lasting change at home.
Does Training With Troy use aversive methods?
Training With Troy focuses on natural communication, relationship-building, structure, and clear leadership. Our goal is always to help owners communicate effectively with their dogs without relying on tools alone.
For dogs displaying serious aggression or when communication has broken down, appropriate training tools may be introduced and demonstrated responsibly and with safety as a priority. Every dog is different, and more serious cases may require additional precautions.
The ultimate goal is to build a relationship based on trust, respect, communication, and leadership—not dependence on equipment.
