AGE RESTRICTIONS
Starting training as early as possible is crucial for your puppy's development. We recommend beginning training at 8 weeks when you bring your puppy home.
The maximum age for our puppy training program is up to 12 months. After this age, we advise a behavioural consult for more specialised assistance. Early training sets a solid foundation for a well-behaved and happy pup.
WHO TRAINS THE PUPPY?
The primary responsibility lies with the owner, who actively participates in the training process. Our experienced trainers provide guidance, coaching, and live demonstrations.
This collaborative approach strengthens the bond between the owner and the pup. Owners are equipped with the skills and knowledge to continue training independently once the trainer's direct assistance concludes.
ON GOING TRAINING
Ready to continue your training journey with Elite Canine after completing any one of our puppy packages?
