Always Faithful DogTraining did a terrific job of training my 4 months old teacup Yorkie Serena. I particularly liked the fact that they followed up with me several times afterwards to see how she was doing and made terrific suggestions when I described problems I was having. They truly care about the dogs they train!

I cant recommend this dogtraining company enough! They helped tremendously with my puppys behavior and gave me the tools I needed to be a confident, in-control dog owner. The trainers were patient, knowledgeable, and truly cared about helping us succeed. My puppy listens so much better now, and I feel more prepared than ever. Absolutely worth every minute!
Always Faithful Dog Training Annapolis's reply
Hi, Jenn, it is great to hear that things are still going well with Luna and that is all because of the work you did. Calm confident, rules and boundaries make a huge difference and really help out you in control. We are here for you if you need anything?!

In Savage MD. Before hiring Always Faithful dogtrainers, i was afraid i would have to give up a stray Siberian Husky i had adopted. After the adoption I had major back surgery. Her instinctual tendency to pull prevented my recovery, causing a lot of pain. In just the first lesson they taught us how to modify Grace's natural behavior, making it possible to walk her comfortably. Thanks for your help.
Always Faithful Dog Training Annapolis's reply
Thank you, Rob, this warms my heart. Gracie is a sweet girl and she will bring you as much comfort as you bring her. We will get her walking, flowing a true leader, in. I time. Keep up the good work.

I am so pleased that we decided on Michele & "Always Faithful DogTraining of Annapolis". We live in Heritage Harbour and had recently adopted a two year old boxer mix from BARCS. Bella had been abused and we wanted help in acclimating her to life with our family. Michele was wonderful, helped us decide on the "Leadership Package" as our best option. Michele went over and above with our sweet Bella. We are going to be working with Michele again to further Bella's (and OUR) education! Michele and "Always Faithful DogTraining of Annapolis" are the very best!
Always Faithful Dog Training Annapolis's reply
Bella is such a sweet girl, and you have given her a safe haven. She trusts you now and definitely respects your authority! Well done!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We offer several packages for private, in-home training based upon customer needs.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Typically we schedule a home assessment of the dog, to meet with the owner and the dog to determine how best we can help. Prices are listed on the website. There is a consultation fee, but it is rolled into the package when you sign up.
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 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.
