WHY SHOULD YOU TRAIN YOUR DOG?

Because a trained dog is a pleasure to be around, as well as an asset to our community. A well trained dog can also create a very peaceful and loving home environment for their companion's. But most important a trained dog is not a liability to you, your family or society. Therefore, we as dog owners all have a responsibility to train our dogs.

When a puppy is left without training they can and will develop destructive and annoying behavior as they get older.

• Statistics show that puppies who receive early socialization, foundation and obedience training are far less likely to end up being destroyed by the age of three years old than those that do not receive this early training.

•Five out of ten dogs will be euthanized before they are five years old.

We all know emergency situations can and do happen. When one of these unfortunate situations occurs it is always best to be able to get your dog under control immediately. Being able to take control of your dog in an emergency situation may save you money and maybe even your dog’s life!

DOG TRAINING DOES NOT HAVE TO BE A HEADACHE!

Every dog has their own genetic make up and disposition. Yes, some dogs are harder to train than others because of there individual genes. But, with some professional dog training, time and effort you will end up with a wonderful canine companion and friend. You can achieve this wonderful relationship with your dog through proper socialization, foundation and obedience training. By putting your dog through a training program they will learn how to behave in a manner that is suitable to you and/or your families needs.
