Ways to Recognize Dog Training Education Month

Dog Training Education Month is an important time to recognize the hard work and dedication of professional trainers. It’s a great chance to increase awareness about canine behavior and how best to help your dog maneuver the world

First, take the time to learn more about dog training principles. Read books from respected authors, search online for articles or blogs, or attend lectures on canine psychology. Developing a deeper understanding of canine behavior can help you fine tune your training and set your dog up for success.

Next, consider taking a dog training class. All of our dogs have been taught using positive reinforcement training, proven as an effective way to teach dogs new behaviors while also strengthening their bond with owners.

The goal of positive reinforcement dog training is to help dogs learn how to respond appropriately in different situations. Trainers use rewards such as verbal praise, food treats, toys and petting to reward desired behaviors and encourage their repetition in the future.
