Why should I train my dog? Training your dog helps you to bond and become closer with your dog. The more you train him, the more he
will understand you. And the more you work and play with your dog, the more you will understand him. Dogs were originally bred to perform specific jobs like herd sheep, find rodents, hunt birds and mammals, and
work as protectors, but now, many dogs are left
with nothing to do all day long. They can become bored and lonely. When that happens, they might chew, dig, or bark too much.
Training your dog gives him something to do and helps build his confidence
as well as helping him to become a Canine Good Citizen. Obedience training is also fun. Yes, fun!
You get to take your dog out in public and meet other dogs and new friends. You both get some exercise and you can learn tricks
that are fun to show to your friends. When friends come over, they will be happy to hang out with your dog.
TIP! Dog training classes are not just for your dog. When you take your dog to a training class, the lessons are also for you. This is a time for you
to learn: 1. what commands to use
2. how to teach these commands to your dog
3. how to praise
your dog
It is your opportunity to see an expert in action and ask any questions you might have. After
learning how to teach your dog, then you can go home and practice, practice, practice!
