Questions, Answered
Everything you wanted to ask before handing me your gremlin.
Training methods. Puppy ages. Day training. Enrichment. Boarding. Pricing. What happens after you click the button.
Here are the answers to the questions that tend to come up before we get started.
And if yours is not here? That is what the free call is for.
Pick a trail.
01GETTING STARTED
Getting started
No.
You are welcome to browse the services and pricing first, but you do not need to diagnose your own dog-training package.
Book a free call, tell me what is going on with your pup, what you would like life to look like, and what kind of support feels realistic for your schedule.
From there, you can figure out the best starting point together.

The consultation is the starting point for talking through your dog, your goals, what feels difficult right now, and what kind of support may be appropriate.
After the right service is identified, the next booking, intake, payment, scheduling, confirmation, and onboarding steps are handled through Clicks! according to the requirements of that service.

Absolutely.
That is one of the reasons the consultation exists.
Not every service is right for every dog, and it is much more useful to talk about your actual situation than to make you guess from a website.

02THE APPROACH
Training methods + philosophy
The Canine Enrichment Co. uses reward-based training tailored to the individual dog.
Rewards may include food, toys, play, praise, access to the environment, or whatever is genuinely meaningful to that dog.
Thoughtful management and environmental setup are also part of the process. The goal is to make desirable behavior easier to practice while giving dogs clear, appropriate ways to succeed.
Training should help your dog learn without relying on fear or intimidation.

Not really.
Useful skills matter, but the goal is bigger than having a dog perform behaviors on cue.
Training also considers confidence, communication, environment, development, appropriate outlets, enrichment, and what your dog actually needs to function comfortably in everyday life.
The question is not only, “Can your dog do it?” It is also, “Does this make life better for both of you?”

No.
Dogs are living individuals, and behavior is influenced by many factors. No ethical trainer can guarantee a specific behavioral outcome.
The Canine Enrichment Co. can provide thoughtful guidance, professional support, useful tools, and opportunities for meaningful progress — but not a magic reset button.
Frankly, anyone promising one should raise an eyebrow.

The Canine Enrichment Co. does not take dedicated behavior-modification cases.
Depending on the dog and situation, Jenna may still be able to support practical skills, enrichment, fulfillment, or everyday management needs.
When a dog needs specialized behavior-modification support beyond the scope of these services, an appropriate referral may be recommended.

No.
With day training, your puppy or adolescent dog participates in hands-on training while continuing to live at home with you.
The Sabbatical is a private in-home board + train, meaning your dog stays with Jenna while receiving individualized training, enrichment, and real-life support.
Which format makes sense depends on your dog, goals, and schedule. See Services for the full breakdown.

04ENRICHMENT
Enrichment Adventure questions
An Enrichment Adventure is a customized one-on-one outing designed around your dog’s age, interests, confidence, energy, and individual needs.
Depending on the dog, an adventure may involve exploring, sniffing, movement, thoughtfully selected exposure, real-world skill building, or simply doing something fulfilling outside the house.
Because sometimes the answer is not another sit-stay. Sometimes the answer is a very thorough investigation of a shrub.

Not necessarily.
Training teaches skills. Enrichment gives dogs appropriate opportunities to engage in behaviors and experiences that meet their needs.
Sometimes those things overlap. An outing can include skill building while still prioritizing sniffing, exploration, movement, confidence, or decompression.
Both have a place.

05THE SABBATICAL
Private board + train
The Sabbatical is The Canine Enrichment Co.’s private, in-home board + train option for puppies and young dogs approximately eight weeks to two years old.
Rather than staying in a large kennel environment, your dog stays in a home setting while receiving individualized training, enrichment, real-life experiences, and care.

No dog comes home “finished.”
The Sabbatical is designed to create meaningful progress through individualized hands-on support.
Your dog will still return to their real home, real humans, real routines, and real environment. Continuing the skills and communication at home is an important part of making progress useful long term.
