Have Questions?
Who wouldn’t! Below are a few questions we get asked frequently. If your question isn’t on this list, feel free to reach out to us! We’re always happy to help.
Does the training come with a guarantee?
What is a “Pup Sleepover”, and why you should choose this over a boarding facility?
Our known Pup Sleepovers are the ULTIMATE in-home boarding experience for your pup. Where most boarding facilities lock your dog in a crate after so many minutes of playtime or only allot for a few potty breaks a day, we take the stress away from your dog’s stay and ensure nothing but the absolute BEST care for them. The dogs live in the homes with your assigned sitter. These homes all have controlled a/c and heating, television, a fenced in backyard, roomy kennels for sleeping if needed, comfy blankets, the best toys, access to the “FURniture” (if allowed), homemade peanut butter treats, and much more! These stays also include socializing and a 30-minute walk each night the dog boards with us. All of our clients who have done our pup sleepover that have used a boarding facility previously have said that their pups came home HAPPY, healthy, and stress-free!
What can I expect when I send my dog off for his/her Learn N’ Stay?
Rest easy knowing your dog will be living in the home with the trainer that you met at your evaluation. We only take in a limited number of pups to ensure that they get the training and attention they need and deserve! We utilize every single minute for training, whether it be out on the town or simply laying in the living room, we are always practicing the commands and teaching your pup how to be his/her best self no matter where they are.
Do I get to see my dog during the 2 or 3 weeks he/she is completing their Learn N’ Stay?
NO. While we would LOVE for you to watch your baby’s progress, we LOVE even more when the dog is given the very best opportunity to succeed. With this being said, “PAWrents” showing up to see their dog during the Learn N’ Stay not only confuses the dog, it causes all of our hard work to regress. Think of it like dropping your child off at daycare. While you would love to keep them home with you and soak up every second of their cuteness, you know that the best thing for them is for them to be in school to learn the necessary things they need for life.
What training method(s) are used at Abby’s Furry Friends?
At Abby’s Furry Friends, we believe in balanced training, which is just using a balanced approach and modifying behaviors using the four quadrants of dog training. We believe in FAIR training. This means finding the best tool for your dog, finding their communication and play style and layering that into daily life. We teach you how to communicate with your dog. We believe in consistency and accountability, without having to be forceful in techniques. Here, the dogs are able to choose to make the desired decision, and when practiced, you will develop an amazing and well-mannered, HAPPY pup with great outcomes!
What tools are going to be used on my dog?
We don’t believe in a “one tool fixes all” mindset. We work with each dog as an individual. We use a variety of tools including but not limited to: clickers, treats, Sidekick Leash, Herm-Sprenger Prong Collars, Mini Educator E-collars, and more!
