FAQs

What Types of Training Classes Do You Offer?

Whether you’re looking to teach foundational obedience skills or need help with your dog’s aggression, our professional trainers are ready to provide tailored services designed to meet your specific needs. Our wide array of training options includes:

• Private dog training
• Group dog training classes
• Puppy training classes
• Board and train programs
• Day training programs

We also offer in-depth behavior training classes to address issues like aggression, reactivity, anxiety, and off-leash habits.

We understand that every dog (and every dog family) is different, which is why we structure our programs to accommodate different schedules, training goals and dog behaviors. That way, you’ll be able to get the most out of your program in the ways that work best for you and your pup.

What’s the Difference Between Obedience and Behavioral Training?

While obedience training and dog behavior training are similar, there are key differences. Our obedience training approach is designed to teach your dog essential commands and behaviors like “sit,” “stay” and “leave it.” It’s a great benefit for dogs of virtually any age, breed or temperament. On the other hand, behavior training uses specific techniques to address unique issues like aggression, anxiety, reactivity and distractedness. At All-Star Dog Training, we can customize programs that combine both approaches for optimal results.

Do You Offer Puppy Training Classes?

Yes, we offer a great puppy training program that can help set your dog up for a lifetime of good habits. Our puppy training classes help young dogs build foundational obedience skills, good socialization habits and positive behaviors.

Can You Help With Aggressive or Reactive Dog Behavior?

Absolutely. Our experienced trainers have successfully trained countless dogs with any number of behavioral issues. Using proven methods, we can help aggressive or reactive dogs learn to reduce stress, manage triggers and respond positively to different scenarios.

Do You Offer Private or Group Dog Training Sessions?

We offer both private dog training and group classes. Private lessons provide a focused setting where dogs and their owners can grow skills and build confidence and trust together. Group classes offer dogs excellent opportunities to socialize and practice obedience within a safe, structured environment.

Do You Use Positive Reinforcement or Other Training Methods?

Yes, positive reinforcement is a core component of our training approach. By recognizing and rewarding your dog’s good behavior, we can help them grow their confidence and learn to default to those behaviors in unique settings.

Can Older Dogs Still Be Trained Effectively?

Yes, we have successfully trained dogs of all ages, and more mature dogs can often benefit significantly from professional coaching. Through consistent practice and guidance, your older dog can learn to respond well to changes in everyday routines and behaviors.

Do You Offer Board-and-Train Programs?

Our comprehensive board and train program offers your dog the opportunity to receive targeted, focused training in-house as our overnight guest. Contact us to discuss our board and train program specifics for our Apex and Charlotte locations.

What Results Can I Expect From Your Training Programs?

Together, we’ll lay the groundwork for lasting results. No matter your training goals for your dog, we’ll design a program tailored to help your pup reach them. This approach gives your dog the best chance to work through behavioral challenges and build lasting confidence. We also recognize that long-term success depends on consistency. This is why we’ll also equip you with the tools and guidance you need to reinforce progress at home.

What Does Training With All-Star Cost?

Because every dog is different, our training programs are tailored to fit your dog’s unique needs and your goals as an owner. Therefore, your program’s pricing will vary.

The best way to get started is with a free consultation. During this visit, we’ll meet you and your pup, discuss your training objectives and demonstrate our methods. That way, you’ll know exactly what to expect from your training experience. Afterward, we’ll create a personalized training plan along with a clear breakdown of costs so you can confidently choose the program that’s right for your pup.
