The best time to start obedience training is the minute you get your new dog or puppy. You need to establish your pack from the get go, whether you just got an 8 week old puppy or a older dog from a rescue, your new best friend is going to be looking to you for the difference between right and wrong in his or her role in the new family. Our puppy class may be exactly what you're looking for. We have training and boarding in Belgrade, Bozeman and the surrounding areas.
YES. This behavior is indicative of a happy untrained dog. We specialize in training your dog to have great manners, be an exceptional companion and we also train you, the human, how to keep your dog engaged, informed and consistent with the training.
I like to believe all dogs have in them the ability to be socialized. With that said, any dog that has true aggression issues should be evaluated in their own social setting. Most dogs can be rehabilitated once their owners learn how to be a better pack leader, they don't want to carry the burden of being the aggressor and are happy to give up this role.
Yes, we can change this behavior. The mouthing can sometimes draw blood and that is a huge problem for someone who is not dog friendly especially children. Puppy teeth are very sharp! This issue generally stems from either teething and/or the puppy being removed from the mothers nipple too soon.
