People also frequently wonder when a dog is too old for training. I am fond of answering, "If the dog is still breathing, he's still learning!" We have welcomed eight- and ten-year-old dogs into class and seen them do quite well. Old dogs can and certainly do learn new tricks! |

The trainers and instructors at CIA use the solid science of behaviorism in training, drawing both on decades of research and on the latest results from current animal training experiments. We don't use superstition, old wives' tales, or "that's just how it's done" techniques -- we can and will be happy to explain each method and approach and point to the supporting science. |

A dog's brain is ready to learn at seven to eight weeks old. He's an eager sponge, ready to be filled with pleasing behaviors such as sit, down and come or with undesirable activities such as chewing on your couch.
