Booking tip
Puppy classes fill up fast, especially in spring and early summer when puppy adoption peaks. Book as soon as you get your puppy — do not wait until problems develop.
Group classes offer the best value for basic obedience. Private training costs more but addresses specific issues more efficiently. Board-and-train is the most expensive but provides intensive immersion.

Frequently Asked Questions — Dog Training in Chatham
Where can I find Dog Training near me in Chatham?

At what age should I start training my puppy?
Start as early as 8 weeks for basic socialization and simple commands. Formal puppy classes typically begin at 8 to 16 weeks. Early training during this critical socialization window has a lasting impact on your dog's behavior and confidence.
How long does dog training take?
Basic obedience can be established in 4 to 8 weeks of consistent classes plus daily practice at home. Behavioral issues like aggression or separation anxiety may take months to resolve. Training is really a lifelong process — ongoing reinforcement keeps skills sharp.
Should I choose group classes or private training?
Group classes are great for socialization and basic obedience. Private training is better for specific behavioral issues, dogs that are reactive around other dogs, or if you need a customized approach. Many owners start with group classes and add private sessions for specific challenges.
What training methods should I look for?
Look for trainers who use positive reinforcement — rewarding desired behavior with treats, praise, or play. Avoid trainers who rely on punishment, prong collars, shock collars, or dominance-based techniques. Modern training science consistently supports reward-based methods.
Is it too late to train an older dog?
No. Dogs of any age can learn new behaviors. Older dogs may take a bit longer than puppies but can still make significant progress. The saying that you cannot teach an old dog new tricks is simply not true.
