"When do I start training my puppy?" That is a great question and the answer is - immediately, every day. Training starts just as soon as a puppy is born.

Most basic obedience will help you and your dog achieve the Canine Good Citizen title. What is that? It shows that your dog can do the following: accept a friendly stranger, sit politely for petting, will welcome being groomed, walk on a loose lead, sit and down on command and stay in place, come when called, walk by another dog, be confident with distractions around and can be left with a trusted person.

CGC is a ten-skill training program that’s open to all dogs–purebred and mixed breed–that focuses on teaching the basics of good manners and obedience, instilling the values of responsible ownership, and strengthening the bond between you and your dog at home and out in the community.
