Why Train Your Dog ?

Obedience Training is one of the best things you can do for your dog or puppy... and yourself. Obedieance Training doesn't solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem.

Training opens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want her to do. You can teach her anything from 'stay' (don't bolt out the door) to 'sit' ( Don't jump on the visitors) to 'off' (don't chew the furniture).

Dogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like animals. They will eliminate in your house, chew your belongings, bark excessively, dig holes in your yard, fight other dogs and even bite you.

Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal canine activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong thing.

 For example, the dog will eliminate on the carpet instead of outside; the dog will bark all night long instead of just when a stranger is prowling around outside; or the dog will chew furniture instead of his own toys.

The key to preventing or treating behavior problems is learning to teach the dog to redirect his natural behavior to outlets that are acceptable in the domestic setting.

A well trained dog is a happy dog. A dog with more freedom in and outside the house.

Having a well trained dog may save its life when faced with danger. For example you are walking your dog on the side walk of a busy street and her collars breaks and she heads for the street. You call her by her name and say the Command " Come "  and she returns to you rather than runnining into traffic.
