Any age is a good age! Remember the sooner you can teach, the better. Starting off with a clean slate is easier than teaching behaviors to a dog that has been unruly for quite some time. Another thing to remember is training will not change genetics. If your dog is hyper, you will receive a hyper dog in returning home - he or she will perform your directions when cued to do so. This will assist you managing your dog's behavior going forward. Puppies and dogs who are 5 months old or older may participate in our Novice Board and Train Program provided they are up to date on all immunizations. Our Advanced Board and Train Program is geared for dogs who know basic, on leash behaviors and are a year of age or greater.
