Be a "Responsible Dog Owner"

You need to "Brain Train Your Dog"

Brain Training your dog is an essential part of owning a dog and can be started at any age. Training builds confidence, provides mental stimulation, and strengthens the human-animal bond.

Dogs have no concept of right or wrong. It is up to us to teach our dogs what is “right.” If a dog is taught to chew on toys, he/she will look for these instead of your shoes. Sometimes it is challenging for our dogs to understand what it is we are asking of them. This can cause frustration for both us and our dogs. Typically, what we think of as “bad” behaviour is really normal dog behaviour. These may include chewing on things or digging. Dogs explore their environment by using their noses, mouths and paws. If these normal behaviours are not used in an appropriate way, they can lead to trouble.That’s why "Brain Training Your Dog" is important".
