12-27-2024 08:16 PM - By Legend Acres

Celebrate National Train Your Dog Month with expert training, a free leash, and ditch the pinch for a happier, healthier bond with your furry friend.

January marks National Train Your Dog Month, the perfect time to start building better habits and stronger connections with your furry companion. At Legend Acres, we believe that training should be an enjoyable experience for both you and your dog, which is why we use force-free and fear-free training methods.


Why Choose Force-Free Training?

When it comes to dog training, the method you choose makes all the difference. At Legend Acres, we use force-free training techniques to help dogs and their owners succeed. Positive reinforcement lies at the heart of our approach, focusing on rewarding desired behaviors instead of using fear, pain, or punishment. This ensures your dog feels safe, confident, and eager to learn.

Here’s why force-free training is the best choice:

  • It builds trust: Strengthen the bond with your dog in a supportive and secure environment.
  • It reduces stress and anxiety: Humane methods create a calmer learning experience for both you and your pet.
  • It enhances long-term results: Dogs retain skills better when training is enjoyable and positive.

As part of our Ditch the Pinch campaign, we actively encourage pet owners to ditch harmful tools like prong, choke, and shock collars. Instead, we provide education on effective alternatives such as no-pull harnesses and teach practical, humane techniques that work for every dog, no matter the breed or size.
