Dog Training FAQ
What age should I start training my dog?
Puppies can start basic training and socialization as early as 8 weeks old. Puppy classes are typically available from 8-16 weeks and focus on socialization, bite inhibition, and basic commands. Formal obedience training usually begins around 5-6 months. However, it is never too late to train a dog — adult dogs learn quickly and can overcome behavioral issues with the right approach.
How much does dog training cost in the Westchester/Fairfield area?
Group obedience classes in the area run $150-$300 for a 6-8 week course. Private in-home training sessions cost $100-$200 per hour. Intensive board-and-train programs range from $1,500-$4,000 for 2-4 weeks depending on the trainer and the behavioral issues being addressed. Many trainers offer package discounts for multiple sessions.
What training methods should I look for?
Look for trainers who use positive reinforcement methods — rewarding good behavior rather than punishing bad behavior. Check for certifications like CPDT-KA (Certified Professional Dog Trainer) or KPA CTP (Karen Pryor Academy). Avoid trainers who rely on prong collars, shock collars, or dominance-based methods, as these can damage your relationship with your dog and increase anxiety.
