Meagan D. says, "I would like to say to say that Andre was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. From the birth of my puppy until he was hand delivered to me, I was kept in the loop. I went to Andre seeking a pure bred Put Bull and I needed him trained to not use the bathroom in the house except on a Wee Wee Pad. Although my puppy was only four months when I received him, I have had no issues. He was nervous when I finally got him home for the first time so he had a little scary pee but ever since then he's been spot on. He act actually prefers to use the bathroom outside and only uses the wee wee pad when necessary. Great demeanor and just a joy to be around. Damien Boomer Willis has been such an AMAZING addition to my life. Thanks again Andre for everything!!!!!" Read more

Certified dog trainers offer group classes, private lessons, or come to your home for one-on-one training. The best in-home dog trainers also teach the owner how to train commands, use body language, and offer proper reinforcement guidance. Many dog trainers use positive reinforcement, which uses a reward (treats, praise, toys) for desired behaviors.

Puppies 7 to 8 weeks of age begin to learn basic obedience commands such as “sit,” “stay,” “stand,” and “down.” Professional dog training traditionally starts at 6 months old. By delaying training, behavioral patterns learned during puppyhood likely take longer to change.

Yes, you can teach an old dog new tricks! Dogs can learn and be trained at any age. Older dogs have more self-control and are easier to train than young puppies. Continuing to train your dog as it matures is also important to help keep their mind sharp.

Private dog training helps correct your dog’s behavior, aggression, anxiety, socialization skills, and teaches them a commands list in a timely and cost-effective manner. Common commands dogs learn quickly are to stay, heel, and roll over.

Professional dog training is valuable because it teaches your dog not to jump or bite, to stop barking, to stay in the yard off-leash, potty training, to use a dog door, not to pull on a leash, hand signals, and much more.

The easiest dog breeds to train are an Australian Shepherd, Corgi, Bearded or Border Collie, Poodle, Miniature Schnauzer, Labrador, Golden Retriever, German Shepherd, and a Doberman Pinscher. Female canines of all breeds are also easier to train and housebreak.
