Adult Dog Training, and Behavior Modification
Perhaps you’ve recently adopted an older dog or you’re noticing behavioral changes in your canine companion. Maybe you’re just looking at doing something fun with Fido. We offer private adult dog training services, behavioral consultations, and advanced Group Classes too. While it’s true that the longer a dog has had to practice bad habits the longer it may take to change them, there is no upper age limit on dog training.
Puppies are undeniably gorgeous but there is a lot to be said about adding a mature dog to your family too – often you can avoid many of the young dog troubles like potty training, biting, and jumping. Just like people, dogs are always learning. And mental enrichment is as important for your adult dog as it is for your younger pup. Training an older dog is a great way to keep them mentally young.
We are the only dog trainer in Rutland who is accredited by the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants as a Certified Dog Behavior Consultant.
In order for us to help you achieve your training goals, we strongly encourage the purchase of a training package. The aim of our initial consultation is to provide foundation training and advice. Progress will depend on what you do next. Packages keep you focused and offer the best bang for your buck. Behavior modification typically requires strong foundation behaviors.
