We strongly encourage enrolling puppies in puppy school as early as possible, preferably before they reach 12 weeks of age, to ensure proper development of socialization skills. For additional details about our dog training courses, please contact us today.

Positive reinforcement is a training technique that involves adding a rewarding stimulus after a behavior, which increases the likelihood of that behavior being repeated in the future. When a desirable outcome or reward follows an action, that specific response or behavior becomes reinforced. We cover this method along with other effective techniques in our dog training courses.

The objective is to establish good habits and develop a loving relationship with your pet. Most puppies become fully house trained within 4-6 months, though some may require up to a year. Potty training is one of several important topics we address in our dog training courses.

Dogs have short attention spans, so we recommend training sessions 3 to 5 times daily, with each session lasting no more than 10 to 15 minutes. Keep in mind that your dog is eager to please, so it's important to offer praise and avoid punishment. Participating in our dog training courses will support your dog in learning essential basic commands.

Dog training can feel quite overwhelming initially, particularly if this is your first dog. Training your dog is indeed a significant commitment. Our dog training courses can provide valuable guidance throughout this process. While there are various training approaches available, most dog professionals agree that positive training methods work best for both the dog and the trainer.
