What's the best age for training my dog?
I've trained as young as eight (8) weeks in a private
setting. My personal preference is not to start the
dog in group obedience until the dog reaches ten (10)
weeks of age.
Is a dog ever too old to train?
In our opinion, any dog that is healthy can benefit
from training. However, just like humans, the physical
and mental abilities of dogs can diminish with age,
and that can impact on the effectiveness of the training.
Additionally, the older a dog gets, the more established
the habits become. Consequently, it takes longer to
eliminate an old habit and instill a new one. The
oldest dog that we have ever heard of in obedience
training was an eleven year old Dachshund
Can I use food for reinforcement?
Use whatever works for your dog. That could be food,
a rolled up towel, a ball or toy, or just plain petting/praise.
How long should my training sessions be while
I'm training at home?
Limit yourself to two (2) or three (3) sessions in
per day with each session being no longer than five
(5) to ten (10) minutes in length. The younger the
dog, the shorter the training session should be. For
the best results, train your dog in an area that has
few distractions
What equipment do I need to train my dog?
We recommend a six (6) foot leash, either nylon or
leather. We don't recommend flexi or retractable leashes
to be used in training. You'll also need a good collar
that's fitted properly; we don't want the dog slipping
the collar, treats or a toy, and water. Make sure
you have an extra dose of patience and a positive
attitude.
What if my dog is sick?
You probably don’t work well when you’re
ill and neither does your dog. Let your dog rest and
get better. Then you can pick up things just where
you left them.
Is it better to train my dog when he’s
hungry?
In our opinion, yes. Especially if you’re using
food treats as reinforcement. When you get into tracking
you want the dogs to get their meals on the track.
