Dog Requirements
Vaccinations
Up-to-date vaccinations corresponding to your pet’s age are a mandatory requirement to ensure their health and safety. They are also mandatory for board and train programs.
Age
Begin your pup’s journey to well-mannered greatness at just 8 to 16 weeks old with essential skills. For optimum development, target around 5 months—the prime age for effective training. Even with older dogs, it’s never too late. Tailor training to your dog’s stage, whether they’re a curious pup or a seasoned companion. Each age presents unique opportunities to build a strong, lasting bond.
Dogs With Disabilities
Dogs with special needs and disabilities can also excel in training. However, tailored adjustments are essential to ensure their training program is optimized for success and well-being. Let our dog training consultants know so our dedicated trainers can prepare and accommodate the training program, ensuring a tailored approach that addresses specific needs.

Successful training journeys require dog owners to approach the process with an open mind and embrace training guidelines to achieve optimal results.
