Ready to Start Training Your Dog?
If you’re dealing with leash pulling, reactivity, jumping, barking, impulse control, or just want to get started on basic obedience, private in-home training in Oak Park will make a real difference. Book a session to get personalized, humane training tailored to your dog and your household.
The old adage, “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks,” is only half true. You absolutely can teach an older dog new behaviors, but there is a key period in a dog’s life where it is MUCH easier! From 8 to 16 weeks your dog absorbs information much faster. If you missed this period we can still help you.
During this same time frame a puppy’s curiosity outweighs their fear. This is the time for socialization; hearing, smelling, feeling and seeing the world around them at this critical time is essential for a confident and well adjusted dog. Dogs that miss extensive socialization often become anxious around new people, dogs and environments later in life.
I share this information because the majority of dog owners I’ve shared it with were not aware, and as I said it is a critical period in a dog’s life. Missing it results in far more work for owners, so get started as soon as you get your dog!
