Adult Dogs

Roughly 18 months to 7 years of age

Trainer Persephone working with Hugo the Bernese Mountain Dog mix

 

Adult dogs are capable of amazing things…

and have a lifetime of experiences that have shaped them into unique individuals. We meet every dog where they are at in life and do our best to understand the whole picture before recommending any specific program. However, adult dogs are capable of radical change, incredibly quickly and are a joy to train when they feel understood. Because they aren’t held back by immaturity they can understand entire concepts with little difficulty while also having enough life experience to have a consistent emotional state. Whatever works best for the owner will work well for the dog in this age group!
