Absolutely. Large and small dogs usually learn by the same principles of attention with motivating learning methods. Our training programs are easily tailored to the specific dog in front of us. The trainer can fine-tune training progressions to suit the needs of the smallest dogs. Just like learning a language takes practice, immersion helps the dog become fluent. After undergoing training for weeks, you will have a better relationship with your dog and be able to enjoy them that much more.
Yes — older dogs are often easier to train than puppies because they have longer attention spans and fewer competing behaviors to work around. The old saying is really just a myth.
Only during active training and reinforcement. Once behaviors are reliable, the collar becomes a backup safety tool that most owners phase out of daily use.
We send daily progress updates, photos, and short videos throughout the board-and-train program so you always know how things are going.
