AGE AND READINESS
Can My Dog Start Training?
Private coaching is available for dogs at different stages, but readiness depends on age and development:
Puppies
Under 6 months
Focus on:
✔️ Socialization
✔️ Basic Behaviors
✔️ Building confidence
We recommend starting with our Service Dog Prep Program before advanced training.
3-session starter program: $90
Adolescent & Adult Dogs
6+ months - 5 years
Dogs can start working towards service dog training, including:
✔️ Public Access skills
✔️ Task Training
✔️ Scent Training
This is when most dogs start structured service dog training
Important to know
Age doesn't determine success, temperament does. Dogs must be:
✔️Social with people and dogs
✔️Confident in most places
✔️Willing to work for treats
All dogs must complete a temperament assessment prior to starting ($120)
