Training
Training has many benefits:
| Training your dog assures you of having a dog that you can be | |
| proud of & that you can enjoy in a variety of situations. |
| Training strengthens the bond between you and helps you to | |
| have a stronger relationship. |
| Training your dog is one of the best ways to ensure your dog’s | |
| health & long life – most dogs who end up in American shelters each year are surrendered by their owners for problems that could have been prevented or eliminated through training. |
| Training can serve to give your dog a 'job'. By doing so, your | |
| dog's energy is channeled into areas that you choose. This can help to prevent many destructive and nuisance behaviors, such as digging, barking, inappropriate chewing, etc. |
| Training is FUN! | |
