IIs my dog too old to be trained?
No, most of the time people think if their dog is 5 years old, they are too old to be trained.  That is not true.  It really depends on the breed to decide if the dog is too old for
training and most of the time the answer to this questions is no.

Is my dog too stubborn to train?

I just want my dog to listen, I don’t care if he/she can sit and stay.  Why do I need formal obedience training?
Formal obedience training is the answer to correcting and modifying unwanted behaviors.  You must establish yourself as the pack leader and in order to do this there
must be a learned way for you to communicate with your dog.  Formal obedience training develops this communication and assists in teaching your dog that you are
the pack leader.

Why do I need a dog trainer that is certified?
Certified professional dog trainers have received the proper formal education needed to train and understand your dog.  A certified trainer has studied dog behavior and many different methods which allows them to create the perfect training program for your pet.

What method of training do you use?
We do not have one particular method that we use.  Our trainers have studied many different methods and will meet with you at your free evaluation to decide what
methods will work best for you and your dog.  You must feel comfortable with the method of training otherwise you will not effectively train your dog.
