This program is best for someone who wants their dog to listen to basic commands and have manners in the house and around visitors. You will be able to walk your dog easily.

Best age to begin~

We start with the basics as early as 8 weeks for smaller breeds. We may wait until 10 weeks for large breeds. They have so much more growing to do sometimes it is hard for them to stay awake an entire lesson. By 7 weeks their brain is neurologically complete.  This is a great time to begin teaching housebreaking and the basics.  We can also prevent things like play biting, chewing and jumping from becoming bad habits and start socializing your puppy.

If your dog is older, it's never too late.  We train dogs up to 11, 12, even 13 years old.  It all depends on the individual dog and what the owner is wanting to accomplish.
