FAQ

Could my dog be too young or too old for training?

We find that old dogs are the easiest to teach new tricks!

However, we recommend that puppies under 16 weeks of age train on Varsity and complete a more intensive training program when they’re over 16 weeks of age.

This ensures you have a sound plan for potty training, crate training, socialization, and preventing bad habits from day one.

Can I enroll more than one dog in a training program?

Yes, although in most situations the length of each training session as well as the price of each program increases by 50%. This allows ample time to be spent with each dog without doubling the price of the program.

We offer a detailed consultation to determine the best approach for training your dogs together.

What training methods do you use?

Our trainers are skilled in multiple training methodologies and assess each dog to determine what will be the most fair, effective, and safe for them as individuals. No two dogs are alike… neither is the best approach to training for them. A trainer will discuss the recommended training methods for you and your dog in a free phone consultation here, or you can view an outline of our training methods here

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. You will have the option to choose a payment plan through Affirm after signing up for a program. Affirm offers payment plans from 2 to 36 months long.

Learn more about payment plans through Affirm here.

Varsity members simply pay $45 or more per month for training with no upfront costs.

Can I cancel Varsity at any time?

Yes! You can pause or cancel your Varsity membership at any time.

It was impossible to go on walks in Austin with my dog because she was extremely reactive. We ended up walking at odd hours of the day, especially during lunch time when other people weren't out. With the heat, it wasn't possible to walk during the day anymore. Mara helped get my dog into a place where we're comfortable walking regardless of what other dogs are doing around us! We did the 3 week in house training and I'd highly recommend it to others!

We did the homeschool program and got set up with Will who was the absolute best. Our dog was not terrible but wasn’t able to go on long walks or behave on a leash. after the 3 week program we now get asked if he is a service dog that is how much improvement he has achieved. I couldn’t have picked a better place to train him and help me learn how to keep training him so his progress will continue. Can’t recommend enough.

I adopted my 5th Border Collie as a puppy, wanting to continue to compete in dog sport, but discovered he was dog reactive (not in aggressive way, but in a rude, puppy way). Working with Will Coggins from Traction, I saw progress and am now to a point where doggie daycare will allow him to attend sessions for rough housing and further socialization.

I've worked with Traction both in the Colorado location and in Austin and I just love this team. They have flexibility with schedule, but one thing in particular I really love is the communication between the trainers. Due to my schedule, we ended up working with more than one trainer, and it felt as seamless as it could, I really felt that they had communicated really well so we were able to continue being productive during our sessions. It was also nice to gain different perspectives as well. Can't recommend enough!
