FAQ: dog training & in-home pet care in The Acreage, FL

Get direct answers about class placement, private lessons, care requirements, medication limits, prices, and what happens after booking.

Do reactive dogs belong in group classes?

No. Group classes are not appropriate for reactive dogs. Book a private lesson if you want Barbara to assess whether one-on-one training is appropriate.

What should I bring to class?

Bring high-value treats, water, a bowl, a flat collar or approved training gear, and a safe waiting setup such as a crate when needed.

How does pricing work for classes versus care visits?

Classes are priced as posted series or specialty offers on the classes page. Care services are priced per timed walk, per visit, per night, or as weekly workday packages from the pet-care page.

Can you give medications?

Basic owner-provided medications may be accepted in advance as a paid add-on when written instructions are supplied and the task can be completed safely during the approved visit.

Where are care visits provided?

Care visits take place in the client's home after the address, dates, access, pet needs, and requested schedule are approved. The address must be within approximately five miles of the Key Lime Boulevard base.

How do I start In-Home Pet Care?

Choose the pet-care service, calculate the posted total, and send the address, dates, timing, and pet summary. Complete the meet-and-greet and full care intake after availability is confirmed.

How soon do you reply after I submit booking details?

We reply after checking the class, appointment schedule, or pet-care address and dates. If you do not receive a reply, call or text 410-430-0209 with the name and email used on the request.

What happens if weather cancels a class day?

Weather-related class interruptions are rescheduled so the full 6-week value is protected. We will update enrolled clients with the replacement timing.
