FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What age should I start training my puppy? New puppy training can begin as early as 8 weeks old. Early socialization and basic obedience training during this critical period sets the foundation for a well-adjusted adult dog.
How long do training sessions last? Private training sessions typically run 60 minutes, while group obedience classes last 45-50 minutes. We structure sessions to maintain your dog’s focus and maximize learning.
Do you work with aggressive or reactive dogs? Yes, our experienced trainers specialize in behavior modification for reactive dogs and those with aggression issues. We use safe, proven methods to address these challenging behaviors.
What’s the difference between private training and group classes? Private dog training offers personalized attention and faster progress for specific behavioral issues. Group classes provide socialization opportunities and work well for basic obedience training needs.
How many sessions will my dog need? The number of training sessions varies based on your training goals, your dog’s behavior, and consistency with practice. Most dogs show significant improvement within 4-6 sessions, though some behavioral issues may require extended programs.
