Look for someone who can demonstrate a history of successful outcomes across a variety of dog training disciplines. It's also beneficial to choose a trainer who has a proven track record, online reviews are always helpful!

The start of any dog training program begins with our trainers working to get your dog to trust and want to engage with us. Our certified trainers use a combination of operant and forward classical conditioning to guide the dog with clear signals. This allows the dog to learn with confidence and retain information. Our trainers are fluent in using various methods of training to teach the dog (and owners!) in a way that best suits that dog’s particular needs. We create a learning environment to build momentum and fully engage the dog through experience and practice.

Puppy training can begin as early as 8 weeks old. At this young age, puppies are very receptive to learning new things. Starting early can help prevent the development of bad habits and establish good behavior from the start. However, the training sessions should be short, positive, and engaging to keep your puppy's attention.

The best commands to start with are basic ones that lay the foundation for good behavior. Begin with commands like "Sit," "Stay," "Come," "Heel," and "Down." These commands are not only essential for your puppy's safety but also help establish a communication channel between you and your puppy.

The best environment for training dogs initially is a quiet, distraction-free area where your dog can focus entirely on you. This could be a quiet room in your home or a secluded spot in your yard. As your dog becomes more proficient in responding to commands, gradually introduce more distracting environments to help them learn to listen and respond in various situations.

The duration of dog training depends on several factors, including the dog's age, temperament, previous training, and the specific goals you have. Basic obedience training might take a few weeks to several months of consistent practice. Remember, training is an ongoing process that evolves with your dog's age and needs, emphasizing the importance of patience and consistency.

Transitioning to a new dog food should be gradual to avoid digestive upset. Start by mixing a small amount of Anita’s Pure Nutrition into your dog’s current food, gradually increasing the proportion over 7-10 days until you have fully switched over. Monitor your dog’s response and adjust the pace if needed.

Identifying food allergies in dogs involves monitoring for symptoms such as itching, excessive grooming, skin rashes, and gastrointestinal issues like diarrhea or vomiting. If you suspect your dog has food allergies, consult with a veterinarian. An elimination diet, typically conducted under veterinary supervision, can help pinpoint the specific allergens. During your free nutrition consultation with us, we can discuss appropriate Anita’s Pure Nutrition options that avoid common allergens.

It's important to avoid ingredients that can harm your dog, such as artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives, as well as common allergens like wheat, corn, and soy, unless they are already part of your dog’s established diet and tolerated well. Anita’s Pure Nutrition emphasizes natural and wholesome ingredients.
