Frequently Asked Questions

What is positive reinforcement training?

Positive reinforcement training is a method that focuses on rewarding good behavior to encourage its repetition. This can include treats, praise, or playtime as rewards. It avoids punishment and instead emphasizes positive interactions.

How long does it take to train a dog?

The time it takes to train a dog varies depending on the dog's age, breed, and individual learning pace. Basic obedience training can take a few weeks, while addressing complex behavioral issues may require several months.

Can you help with aggressive behavior in dogs?

Yes, I have experience working with aggressive dogs. My approach involves identifying the root cause of the aggression and using positive reinforcement techniques to modify the behavior. It's important to address aggression early to ensure the safety of both the dog and others.

Puppies can start basic training as early as 8 weeks old. This is a critical period for socialization and learning basic commands. Early training helps establish good habits and prevents behavioral issues later in life.
