No they will teach you to teach your dog to do most of these things. To be quite honest half of a dog’s behavioral problems are cause by their owners letting them do things and reacting poorly to bad behavior. unfortunatly Aggression is often a problem caused by people and cannot always be stopped by training- often this is an effect of poor breeding. These poor animals are often put down either because of abuse or neglectful breeders.

Most dog training classes don’t specifically teach house training or biting per say. What they will teach you is how instill obedience and overall good behavior in your dog. If it is a good class, you will bring home tips and techniques that you can apply to a whole range of issues that you may have with your dog (hopefully there will be few)
One bit of personal advice I have with regards to teaching your dog anything is to praise, praise, praise. Many (dare I say most?) dogs exist to make you happy! For example, when your dog goes to the bathroom outside, in a high-pitched voice say “GOOD DOG!” over and over. Pair this with lots of hugs. Continue to praise for as long as you’d like. You can’t overdue it!
Back to your training. There are lots of e-courses and books you can download on the topic too – with them, you may even be able to skip the training class. One I have found VERY helpful is called Secrets to Dog Training. It is pricey, but if you can save the cost and time by not having to attend a class, it is a great deal.

Best of luck to you!

They won’t house train him, you need to get a proper trainer to go to your house and do that. Go to google and research “crate training”. That’s what I did with my puppy – it takes a while but they learn to go outside afterwards. You have to have a lot of patience though and not abuse your puppy when it makes mistakes. Also, some puppies are also trained to pee and poop on newspapers or mats by their breeders so that might make it a bit easier also when you start off because you know at least they’ll do their business on that rather than just anywhere. Hope that helps.

No. Taking a dog to a training class helps you to understand how to work with your pet to get them to do what you want and expect from them. It doesn’t mean that they will go to a few classes and be the perfect dog. The dog will only respond and behave with proper effort. If you aren’t willing to put forth the proper time and effort to train the dog, that it won’t take the time to behave for you! You will only get out of a dog what you take the time to put into it. And what about a litter box? That isn’t really a complete thought. Again if you want to train it to go in the litter box than you have to work at it. Don’t expect miracles if you don’t do your part.

Litter boxes can work with small dogs, but it is really healthier to teach them to go out of doors.
A good dog trainer will tell U that U should housebreak the pup yourself. Same with furniture. That puppy needs to learn the rules of your house — not someone else’s home.
Buy a dog crate and read a really good book on this subject.
I recommend “Family Dog” by Richard Wolters.
Easy to read, lots of photographs, and chock full of expert advise. Covers everything from picking out the right kind of dog for U, house breaking, and all basic obedience commands.

No, YOU train the dog depending on your situation. Litter boxes are for cats.
If you want a already trained dog, rescue an older dog, and it should be housebroken.

depends on where you send to trainer. ask them what they train.
