How do I know which program is right for my dog?

Every dog starts with a $50 in-person evaluation where we assess your dog's specific needs and your goals. We'll recommend the right program - whether it's our 2-week camping program, 4-week obedience, 6-week off-leash, or our behavioral modification program for serious issues.

Will my dog's training stick after they come home?

Yes - because we train YOU every week during the program as well. The Friday lessons before weekend pickups ensure you know exactly how to maintain and build on what your dog has learned. We don't just train your dog; we teach you to be their confident handler.

We've already tried other trainers and nothing worked. Why would this be different?

We specialize in dogs that haven't succeeded elsewhere. Our trainers have extensive experience with behavior modification, including fear, anxiety, and aggression. Our intensive board-and-train format allows us to work through issues that weekly classes can't address. Many of our success stories started as "last resort" cases.

Is my dog too aggressive/fearful for your program?

We regularly work with severe behavioral cases that other trainers won't accept. Our Wild Child program is specifically designed for dogs with serious issues. During the evaluation, we'll be honest about what's possible - but we've successfully rehabilitated dogs that owners thought were beyond help.

Why does training take 4-6 weeks? Other trainers say they can do it faster.

If someone guarantees the same results in 1-2 weeks, they're likely using a compulsion-based approach—which means forcing the dog into behaviors through stress and pressure. Sure, it can look good on the surface, but the dog never had the chance to truly process, understand, and retain what they're learning. Our programs give dogs time to build real understanding, confidence, and reliable decision-making. We're not just teaching commands—we're changing state of mind and creating lasting behavioral shifts. That takes time, repetition, and relationship-building. Rushing it increases the risk of long-term fallout, stress, and regression once the dog goes home. We'd rather take the time to do it right than put your dog through unnecessary stress for a quick "fix" that doesn't last.

Will I know how to handle my dog after training?

Absolutely! The weekly Friday lessons are specifically designed to transfer skills to you. By the time your dog graduates, you'll have had multiple hands-on training sessions learning exactly how to maintain and reinforce their commands. You won't be left guessing.

Dog Training & Behavior Modification | Gypsy K9 Solutions

A HUGE shout out to Nicole at GypsyK9 Solutions. When Ranger went to her 4 weeks ago for board and train, he thought he was the king of the house, fearful of a few things, jumped on people because he was over excited, etc. 4 weeks later and he is calmer, listens a lot better and is all around a better well behaved pup. In all honesty he is like a whole different dog. He has some things to master yet, but with time and using the tools Nicole gave us, I am more confident now then ever that he will master them all.
