Pets Need Manners Too - Dog Training Is The Key


As children watch us train our pets to have "manners": Not to jump, to sit and wait, to follow on a leash - basic obedience - they learn that good behavior is expected from everyone in the family. Pets need to learn manners just like they do - and when pets behave well the whole family is happy. Bad behavior is the #1 reason pets are taken to shelters. As parent's we may not know how to teach pets good manners, so it's up to us to take a class in dog training, buy a video series to teach us on our own timetable, or hire a dog trainer to teach both the dog and the family how to have good manners.  Picture of dog trainer from AnimalBehaviorCollege.com
