Always Faithful Dog Training of South Louisiana

Our prices are determined by the number of lessons performed. We offer a 10% discount to active military, police, or fire department employees.

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 has trained over 10,000 dogs and 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.

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 our proudest moments was a dog who would not go up or down stairs. The owners lived in a raised house so there were stairs going into and out of the house. The dog was over 120 lbs and the owner could not carry the dog to get it to use the backyard or get her to go to the groomer or vet. After our second lesson, we were able to get the dog to go up and down the stairs. It was a huge relief for the owner and we were proud to be a part of that joy.

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 lives 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: 1. Additional costs for tools that will be used during training 2. Methods trainer will use during training 3.

Level of individualized support for their dog (private vs group)
