Frequently Asked Questions

When should I start training my puppy?

Puppies begin learning from birth, and learning continues throughout their lives. For pet parents, training can start as soon as your puppy comes home with simple, age-appropriate skills and routines. Early training can focus on communication, positive reinforcement, household routines, social skills, and foundational cues. Central Bark also offers Puppy Hour, a free opportunity to help your puppy learn, socialize, and build positive early experiences while you connect with Central Bark professionals about your puppy’s needs.

What kinds of behaviors and cues can my dog learn with a Training Tutor?

Training Tutor sessions can help dogs practice practical life skills and behaviors based on their individual needs. These may include cues such as sit, stay, down, wait, and leave it, along with skills such as calm door and gate behavior, name recall, and loose-leash walking. Your Central Bark team can help identify appropriate goals for your dog.
