Important Notes
Every dog learns at their own pace. Some may take a couple of days to settle in before they’re ready to work, while others jump in right away. Motivation levels, previous training, and temperament all play a role in how quickly skills are absorbed. The more time we have, the more reliable and advanced your dog’s training can become.
