Dog behavior training is essential for pets. Not only does it encourage good behavior, but it also saves you from trouble in the long run. Below we answer some questions relating to dog training and behaviors. These are some of the FAQs, Contact us if other questions arise!
Absolutely. Large and small dogs usually learn by the same principles of attention with motivating learning methods.
Our training programs are easily tailored to the specific dog in front of us. The trainer can fine-tune training progressions to suit the needs of the smallest dogs.
Just like learning a language takes practice, immersion helps the dog become fluent. After undergoing training for weeks, you will have a better relationship with your dog and be able to enjoy them that much more.
Yes, your dog can. Age itself doesn’t restrain learning in a canine, and we recommend dog training at all ages. If you have a puppy or a slightly mature dog, enlist for training sooner than later.
A lack of training often leads to bad habits for the pet parents and the dog. Early training usually sets your dog up for success rather than trying to modify bad behavior.

For the first few months after training, it is vital that your dog wears the collar while attended so that you have the resources to correct unwanted behaviors. The collar should not be worn for more than 12-15 hours per day – it can be taken off when sleeping or crated. For more specific questions, please reach out to your trainer.

There is no difference in the training between the two and three-week day training program other than duration. The three-week program allows for more environmental exposure, environmental conditioning, environmental neutrality, and overall confidence and impulse control.
