About
We love dogs and want dog owners to love their dogs too. We do not use shock collars, treats (food), or clickers to train your dog. We teach leadership methods which establishes a strong relationship between you and your dog.
We believe that the typical dog owner just needs help understanding what their dog is trying to tell them and what they need. So we began our business to help other people learn their dog's language.

Always Faithful transformed my anxious dog. My dog is a 7-year-old shih tzu mixed with fox terrier. She has always been anxious and does not like strangers. The techniques we learned have eased her anxiety and made us all happier. I was skeptical that anything would help her. Kelly was amazing and so patient. Brooklyn (the dog) shocked us all with how fast she learned and how well she's doing now. Hire them!

We are so lucky we found you! Kelly was an absolute blessing. Our dogs are insanely smart, but we were getting so frustrated trying to train them to give up some of their worst behaviors. (reacting to other people/dogs, jumping on guests, pulling on the leash during walks, whining for attention, etc.) With only 5 sessions she turned our dog Diesel completely around. As a Cane Corso/ American Staffordshire Owner, we knew it would be tough to train such a stubborn dog. What we didn't realize was that we were the problem. She helped us understand dogs and how they communicate. We are now a closer and happier pack/family, and the boys understand us and the boundaries we set for them. Being able to walk with my Frenchie and Cane Corso without any pulling alone is worth it for us, but she taught him so many amazing skills (mostly she taught us, but he learned a thing or two! 🤣🤫)

Train the trainer. I had some issues with training my boxer puppy, stubborn, smart, loving, you know how puppies are. Brandon helped me to train myself so I could train my Izzy. We practice what I was taught on a regular basis, daily frequencies is key. She does much better know with distractions because I know what to do. Some day soon she will come when I call her. If you want to have a well behaved and obedient dog with voice and hand commands give Ever Faithful a chance to show you the right way.

Scott did an excellent job training me to work effectively with my pup. People are commenting to me about what a different dog Zach is, so calm and well behaved. Money well spent.

Kelly is the best trainer I have ever encountered. Several neighbors have observed our success and requested contact info. The value for the money spent on these sessions cannot be calculated in dollars. Thanks from Mike, Jan and Honey!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Our prices are determined by the number of lessons performed. We offer a 10% discount to active military, police, or fire department employees.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
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.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
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.
