Why Should We Train Our Dogs?

    + To open a channel of communication with our dogs, young and old.

    + To start our puppy off on the right paw by laying a solid foundation at an early age.

    + To teach them to eliminate when and where we would like them to.

    + To chew on appropriate articles and not on our limbs, clothing or valuables.

    + To walk calmly on the leash without leaping or pulling.

    + Not to fight with other dogs or show inappropriate aggression towards people.

    + To greet people appropriately, without jumping up.

    + To come, sit, lie down, stay and heel when we ask them to.

    + To stop unnecessary barking.

    + To give us their attention and respect as leaders of their pack.
