Q. Can I begin my puppy even if my puppy has not received all of his/her shots?
A. Absolutely, YES! In almost all cases, if the puppy has received first shots and is in good health, this should suffice to ensure protection against Parvovirus and Distemper.
Q. What training methods are used?
A. For all beginning classes and students we use positive reinforcement (food and praise). No choke chains or pinch collars are use or retractable leashes. Calm pleasant voices are to be used, NEVER any yelling or harsh tones. We will be happy to show you the technique to even replace the word "NO". For private students with dogs with more serious behavior problems, a discussion of other options will be evaluated and considered.
Q. How much time will I have to spend working with my dog to see results?
A. Most training should be done on your daily walk(s). About 15 minutes at a time if possible twice a day. As many different people from the same household are encouraged to participate, especially children.
