We Start Training Them Early To Become Professional Detection K9s.
At Skool Dogs, training starts when the dog is just a puppy. We test their personalities and carefully select those who are more alert, calm, obedient and smart. Once a puppy is chosen, the actual training starts. At this young age, they will be trained to sit, stay, come and lay down on command, both when on and off a leash. Constant evaluations will be made and only those who pass the test will graduate and move on to the next round of training.
