Inside Our Dog Training Magic
-
When it comes to dog training, one common question we encounter is the ideal age to begin. Our approach is inclusive; it's never too early or too late to start training your dog. Puppy training can commence as soon as your new companion arrives home, typically around 8 weeks of age. However, we usually wait until after your puppy has received their final series of vaccinations before starting formal sessions.
It’s a common misconception that older dogs can’t learn new tricks or behaviors. On the contrary, older dogs are fully capable of learning and can greatly benefit from the mental stimulation training provides.
-
Group Classes: Ideal for socialization and learning basic commands.
Private Sessions: Offer personalized attention for specific needs or behaviors, perfect for addressing individual challenges.
-
The time it takes to train a dog varies significantly. It depends on several factors, including the dog's personality, the specific behaviors being taught, and the consistency of training practices at home. While some basic commands can be mastered in just a few weeks, more complex behaviors or resolving certain issues may require a longer commitment.
-
While no trainer can offer absolute guarantees regarding a dog's behavior post-training, our commitment lies in equipping you with the necessary tools and techniques for successful training. We strive diligently to achieve the best possible outcomes, though much depends on the owner’s involvement and consistency.
-
Owner involvement is crucial to the success of the training process. The more you engage with your dog outside of our sessions, the more effective the training will be. We offer guidance and support for you to practice at home effectively.
For training sessions, you should bring your dog on a leash, along with a variety of their favorite treats and any specific toys or items that motivate them. We’ll inform you if any additional items are needed.
To continue your dog's training after completing our program, we recommend practicing the learned behaviors daily, participating in advanced classes or group activities, and consistently applying the training principles at home.
I believe that every dog deserves the chance to thrive.
