Dog Training Is Fun!

• A socialized dog has a better chance of being a well behaved dog.
  

• Dog training should be fun and interactive!  
  

• Play as you train!
  

• For best results, train frequently, briefly, and consistently.
  

• To get the best out of your dog training, you should both be fresh and happy during workouts.
  

• Always end your training session on a good note.
  

• You should expose your pet to different environments slowly, gently, briefly, and always with supervision.
  

• Don't just train at home. Outside distractions offer an opportunity to solidify and proof your dog's skills as you work for increased reliability, focus and attention. 
  

• Never allow your dog to stare at another dog.  This can be construed as aggressiveness and could initiate a challenge.
  

• Dog obedience training is not just for home/practical purposes, it is an important skill requirement for those seeking success in other dog team or competition sports.
  

• In addition to dog breed clubs there are many dog sport clubs that offer individuals an opportunity to meet new friends, gain camaraderie and further knowledge in the sport of interest.  
  

• Both pure and mixed-bred dogs are welcome at many sporting matches or events!  
  

• There is a dog club near you!
