Frequently Asked Questions
How long will it take to train my dog?
This depends on what you want to accomplish. For mastery of basic commands, I recommend 7 one-hour lessons — one hour per week, for 7 weeks. After 7 weeks, you can continue to intermediate training if you choose to.
At what age can I start to train my dog?
Whenever you want — there is no minimum age. I recommend that you start to train your puppy as soon as possible, before it takes on bad habits. Most of the puppies I see tend to be around 8 weeks.Is my dog too old to be trained?
No. The old saying, “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks” isn’t true. Any age dog can learn new things.
Where do I have to go for training lessons?
Nowhere! Manners for Mutts will hold lessons at your home.Do I need to get a crate for my puppy?
