The Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers® (CCPDT®) is the gold standard for dog trainers and owners looking to work with a dog trainer. Dog Life Pro is CCPDT and APDT certified. Both organizations are committed to LIMA, an acronym that stands for Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive. You can read more about LIMA and why we use it to protect the animals we love.”

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!
