Is my dog too old?
No dog is too old to learn. We recently graduated a beginner who had started training for the first time at 10 years of age! His learning was slower than a youngster but he has achieved all the skills required in the basic training class.
Does my dog need to be fully vaccinated for puppy school?
No. But they do need to have had at least their 1st injection. If your dog is older than 16 weeks you have missed the critical period.
Are there hidden expenses at Dog Solutions?
No. We may make recommendations in behaviour problem solving consultations to make purchases but we won't charge anything other than what you have been quoted.
We have no product alliances so we won't be pushing products on you.
What do I need to know when looking for a Puppy School?
Can the floor be cleaned? The floor must be non porous and not in a publically accessible area. Your puppy must not play where there is a chance that parvo virus has been e.g. parks, footpaths. Until fully immunised they are at risk.
Check the teacher's qualifications and experience and ask what subjects the course covers. If the course is mostly "play time" you won't get as much from it.
Can my dog wear a choker chain?
Only if the dog is over 6 months of age.
