Professional Puppy Obedience Training in Sarasota, FL

If left unchecked, a puppy’s destructive behaviors can quickly develop into bad, unwanted, and even antisocial habits. Dog’s Best Friend offers effective puppy obedience training in South Central Florida. Here are just a few of the reasons you might consider giving us a call.

The Younger, The Better

Although we don’t agree with the old adage, “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks” (we successfully train canines of all ages), it’s generally harder to modify bad behavior the longer it is allowed to go on. Because puppies do not have deeply ingrained habits, it’s often easier to train a pup than it is to correct established patterns and routines in older dogs. Young pups are also able to observe and relate to their environment almost immediately, making them ideal students.

Proper Training Is Everything

As experienced dog trainers, we know that age plays a big part in obedience training. Not only do puppies often have a shorter attention span than older dogs, but they may also be more sensitive and easier to intimidate because they haven’t spent as much time around people. That is why our trainers utilize different methods and techniques when working with younger dogs. They may also keep sessions short to help pups digest what they’ve learned, one bite at a time. Best of all, our trainers will come to your home, which eliminates the distractions of an unfamiliar environment.

Patience Is a Virtue

One of the reasons a lot of older dogs have bad habits is that their owners never completed basic obedience training. The inevitable result is a poorly behaved, deeply confused dog. Our experts have the knowledge and know-how to show you the right way to train your pet. They will not only teach you to understand your animal but also to clearly and effectively communicate.
