A Few Ways To Celebrate National Train Your Dog Month
As we all usually use to get prepared in January with our resolution and planning for the year, every year, the Association for Professional Dog Trainers, the largest professional association for dog trainers in the world, organize “National Train Your Dog Month” in January. So, it is a perfect time for dog owners and those who may be considering getting a dog, to learn about the importance of training and enriching their pet’s life. Training and nutrition are the key components in a holistic health plan for your dog. Whether you have a new born puppy, a young adult, or a senior dog, training is beneficial! Consider these few ways to celebrate National Dog Training Month with your pup.
Assign A Training Class Train your dog as puppies, it doesn’t matter how old your dog is. If your dog needs training then it’s always the perfect time to start and if your dog is already trained you can still spread the word by sharing what you and your dog know.
Do Reward While Training Keep small treats in the hand to reward good behavior. Most pet stores carry tiny dog training treats that you can carry with you to reinforce good behavior without overfeeding your pet. Make sure behaviors you don’t like aren’t rewarded or just put a warning note by simply not giving any attention to your pet’s activity.
