Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
Do they use shock collars?
Hi Diane! Thank you for reaching out. We do not generally introduce any remote training in group classes. If you choose to do private sessions, we can help train using any methodology or tools that you are most comfortable with. We do use remote collars on our in-board program for a reliable come behavior.

I have a medium to large dog that I would like to have trained as a service dog for me to help me with my Diabetes. I would like an idea of how much it would be to get him certified as a service dog. Please advise.
I am so sorry that we missed this question. We do offer assistance training diabetic alert dogs. The cost is dependent on which programs are used to build the reliable obedience and task training needed. If you are still in need, I am happy to have some give you a call or set up a free virtual conversation to discuss it all in detail. Any service dog work has a lot of ins and outs, and we are happy to share our expertise.

Do you do gun dog training??
Hi there! Thank you for your inquiry! We do not offer any bird dog work, and I'm not sure who to recommend locally. I'm so sorry.

Is this for dogs of all ages, sizes, breed, etc?
Yes. Fantastic people

I need lots of help with my dog Halo. He will be a year old in October and still refuses to be potty trained and he refuses the leash. Can anyone help with this?
Hi Tia! We have a variety of training programs to explore, all detailed on our website www.thunderhawkcanine.com. That said, I think you would be best served by starting with a private training session. The trainer and you could discuss your specific needs and areas of concern and develop a plan of action to get there. We cover a ton of info in that first session- including environmental management to prevent issues, training appropriate behaviors, and realistic goals. Private sessions cost $45 at our facility (Thunderhawk's Academy on 111) and $60 to meet in your home or alternate location, provided its within 30 miles of our facility. Booking requests can be made via the website as well. Looking forward to helping you guys get started.

Do you have regular boarding?
I'm very sorry in the delay of answering this. Still getting the hang of the Google community :-) We do not offer standard boarding services outside of our training programs.

Can you stay with your dog and have the trainers help YOU to train your dog???
Hi Angel! We absolutely do offer programs where you can get coaching on how to most effectively work with your dog. Our group classes and private sessions both fill that roll. The details of both are on our website www.thunderhawkcanine.com, as is booking options. Please let us know if we can help in any way :-) -Christie, CPDT-KA, CBCC-KA Owner, Thunderhawk Canine

Where can I find a leather leash? Thanks and Piper and I will see you later.
Muddy pond or 111 flea market.
Community answer · janice hicks · 2018-09-21
One of my favorite places to buy leather leashes is Muddy Pond leather shop in Monterey. Quality work and extremely reasonable prices.

Our dog, Champ, had gotten himself into a little trouble with his impulsive behavior. Not only that, but he was controlling who came and went at our house. I reached out to Thunderhawk to enroll Champ in their inboard program. It was the hardest four weeks of our lives. What we got back was a dog who is more confident in himself which makes us more confident. When Christie returned him to us she schooled us in the commands and when and how to use them. Inboard training is not inexpensive, but it was worth every penny. I think it saved our dog.
Been here in TN for 2 1/2 years, I am a breeder of Rottweilers, started scent classes, puppy classes for socialization, obedience classes, Maria, Carmen, Emily and Christie are all great to deal with, very good with the dogs, always eager to help people achieve their goals, thank you all very much!
