Dog Training
Training your dog is one of the most loving and sensible things you can do for your family pet. Fitting into the human world can be confusing for a dog, training helps them to understand what is required of them, things they are and are not allowed to do, and can help them feel useful to the pack. Basic obedience commands will help your dog fit into family life, and can be used to positively direct a dog away from unwanted behaviours, like sitting instead of jumping over guests at the door. A trained dog will have more freedom to go places and do things with the family because they can be relied upon to behave. Training is mentally stimulating, will help build a bond between you and your dog, and finally training should be a lot of fun for both of you!
