Our proprietary temperament evaluation assesses a dog's temperament (personality), strengths, and areas needing improvement. This process is conducted by experienced professionals and helps us design a tailored training program.

If the event was cancelled by the organizer, full price will be fully compensated. Full price will be transfered to the card during 3 days. If you want to cancel the participation less then over a period of a month, 30% of the cost will not be returned.

The duration of training varies based on the dog’s temperament, the type of training required, and the owner’s goals. Most programs last several weeks, with extended durations for exceptional cases or specialized training, such as working dog programs for professional deployments and certification.

We carefully assess behavioral tendencies that may stem from genetic influences, including those linked to backyard breeding. Our experts are adept at identifying early signs of potential issues, sometimes as early as a few weeks of age. This allows us to create a customized training plan that not only addresses the dog’s unique needs but also proactively corrects potential challenges that often manifest in adult dogs in Sri Lanka.
