Always Faithful Dog Training of Omaha

Our prices are determined by the number of lessons performed. We offer a 10% discount to active military, police, or fire department employees. We offer several packages for private, in-home training based upon customer needs.

We schedule an in-home assessment to understand the goals of our client with their dog. Once we complete the assessment we suggest how to approach the lessons and schedule.

All trainers are trained by our Master dog trainer. Our Master dog trainer is a former United States Marine K-9 Handler and has trained over 10,000 dogs. Each trainer must meet a minimum qualification of dog handling with a senior trainer, prior to training on their own. We also receive on-going education and support from our Master trainer to guide our methods for any unfamiliar behavioral issues we need to address with our clients' dog. All trainers are certified by the Instinctive Dog Trainers Association.

We love dogs and wanted to offer our clients a business that gives them professional help with their family pet. We are a franchise organization and that gives us access to a wealth of knowledge beyond our own dog training experience. With over 30 franchisees and our franchisor, we have access to dog trainers around the country who can help us get the right solutions for any dog obedience issue we come across.

Our clients are as diverse as the dogs we train. We work with all dog owners who have dogs at least 8 weeks old. We train all types of dogs and ages and are versed in the different methods to handle them all.

One of my proudest moments so far was our client with a 7 year old beagle. According to the daugher-in-law, this dog was so out of control that it had gotten her father-in-law kicked out from his apartment (for lunging at other residents and barking excessively) and she had stopped allowing their young children over to their Papa’s house due to this dog’s behavior. The daughter-in-law truly thought this dog was untrainable but for the first time in long time she allowed her 3 year old to visit his Papi (after the third lesson). Her son was terrified of this dog but when she picked him up, her SON HUGGED THE DOG GOOD-BYE! The dog didn’t bark, he allowed affection (she could tell he didn’t love it but he handled it). The dog was literally ruining their family dynamic and relationship with her father-in-law. This client had chosen our Basic Obedience Training package (5 lessons) but the impact of him now being able to have his grandchildren visit his home is why I am passionate about what we do.

Make sure you are comfortable with your trainer's methods and your role in the training. Our training methods do not use food, shock collars, or clickers and instead teach leadership methods. Since you live with your dog, it is important to ensure you are comfortable continuing the methods you learn from a dog trainer to maintain the progress after training is complete.

They should ask about the following: - Additional costs for tools that will be used during training - Methods the trainer will use during training - Level of hands on training the owner will receive (doing vs observing) - Follow up support between sessions - Convenience of scheduling sessions - Level of individualized support for their dog (private vs group)
