All About Dogs Training Center

Our classes are relatively small, max 15 dog-owner pairs per class. We keep it that way so that everyone gets the attention they need. Classes start every 5 weeks, so you're able to repeat a level if you want to or advance.

As with any training, starting early is always better. Puppyhood is a critical time for socialization and obedience training; therefore, crate training your puppy should begin as soon as possible. Crate conditioning begins by giving your pup small amounts of his own food in the crate (for example, kibble or some water) several times per day. As he becomes more comfortable with being inside the crate, you can gradually increase the amount of time he spends there each day. Once your puppy is completely conditioned to spending time in the crate, you can start using it as a safe place when you're not home. This way, if anything happens and he needs to be picked up quickly (e.g., during an emergency evacuation), he will be familiar with going into the Crate instead of traveling unrestrained through unfamiliar surroundings or getting lost indoors.
