Obedience Training for Puppies – teach your dog how to be a good dog… …and start early.

Let’s face it, no one gets a dog because they intend to give them up, but oftentimes dogs are surrendered to animal shelters because they have become either a nuisance or a danger to others. Most pets that are surrendered to the animal shelter are done so because of behavioral problems. When bringing a dog into your home, it is vital to your pet’s health and happiness to enroll in puppy classes as soon as your dog joins your family.

One of the most important things a dog can do is to make its master happy. That’s what your puppy wants to do, and given the right training (for both humans and canines alike) the transformation from rambunctious puppy to obedient dog can be an easy one. The earlier you start the better.

There are many options when it comes to training your dog, it is important to find a reputable local source for your dog training needs. You will want to make sure that the trainer that you choose uses positive reinforcement during the training and you must attend the training sessions with your dog. This will ensure that both you and your pup understand what is expected of one another. Check with your veterinarian for a recommendation of a good local trainer. Your vet might even offer puppy classes.

Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover’s Soul knows that training your puppy early on can create the warm loving environment that every dog needs. Show your dog what is expected of him or her and you will be rewarded with the joy of owning an obedient pet.
