The fact is that the majority of owned dogs have had no formal training – positive or otherwise.
Since dogs are now sharing our homes and our lives in ever closer ways, it is more important than ever that every dog be given a good canine education.
Doing so will prevent thousands of dogs being surrendered to shelters due to behavioral issues that could have been prevented.
Investing the time to teach your dog will make living with her easier and that investment could also save her life.
People who make time to teach their dogs lead more fulfilling lives with their canine companions.
A healthy balance of learning manners, encouraging sociability and providing your dog with the right kind of outlets will ensure her success.
The learning process does not have to be costly or intense, and the more enjoyable it is for the both of you, the better the results will be.
