Why Train Your Dog?
Quite simply, so both you and the dog can live happy lives together. You will be amply rewarded with a mannerly, loving companion if you make the commitment to training. And your dog will be much happier knowing what is expected and how to please you without being yelled at.
Dogs, given the opportunity, will enhance the quality of life for those who desire a loyal, loving companion and recognize the exceptional qualities of dogs. Dogs, like people, have physical, mental, and emotional needs that can only be met by their owner’s willingness to understand them and commit to sharing their lives. A dog’s behavior is a direct reflection of the time and effort the owners put into the dog. Owners who really care about their dogs care enough to train their dogs, and to educate themselves as well.
Training is also an important component of being a responsible dog owner. Training teaches the dog responsibility and the boundaries of appropriate behaviors in a variety of places and situations. This allows both the dog and the owners to engage in pleasant outings, safe in the knowledge that the dog will not be a burden to the owners or a danger to others. People generally notice and comment about well behaved dogs in public.
Unfortunately, the lack of adequate dog training is leading to an increase of anti-dog legislation across the country. Companionship of dogs is a wonderful thing, and we should not allow it to be curtailed by a lack of owner commitment to insuring that dogs are not seen as a public nuisance. So your making the investment in your and your dog’s happiness also serves the greater good of paving the way for enjoyment of others.
