St. Charles Dog Training FAQs
We will start training a dog as early as 12 weeks old (8 weeks with manager approval). Our puppy programs focus on socialization and basic foundations. For adult dogs, it's never too late to start—we regularly work with dogs of all ages and have specialized approaches for senior pets.
All dogs at Petropolis are required to have the following vaccinations:
- Rabies
- Distemper (DHPP)
- Bordetella

We use science-based positive reinforcement techniques that reward desired behaviors rather than punishing unwanted ones. This approach builds your dog's confidence and strengthens your relationship rather than creating fear or anxiety.
Many owners notice improvements after the very first session, especially with our guidance on consistent handling. Long-term behavior changes typically become reliable after 3-4 weeks of consistent practice with our techniques, but every dog is unique and there are not guarantees.
Yes! Beyond our standard packages, we offer specialized training for therapy dogs as well as some dog sports. Ask your trainer for options and availability.
