Top 5 reasons to train your dog

1️⃣ Create a deeper bond between you and your dog

🐾 As you and your dog spend time together training, you learn about each other and get to share positive experiences. You also get to reinforce boundaries and provide structure for your canine companion. This instills a sense of trust and respect, which will carry throughout the time spent with your dog.

2️⃣ Training increases safety

🐾Training your dog can help them to avoid conflict with other dogs and animals, running into a busy road, or generally harming itself through destructive chewing, ingesting something toxic etc. In addition to this, you may be able to avoid issues such as resource guarding.

3️⃣ Makes it easier for pet professionals to work with your dog

🐾By putting in the work to condition your dog to being handled, you can make vet and grooming appointments a stress-free experience for both your dog and the professional handling your dog.

4️⃣ Reduce unwanted behaviour

🐾Through regular training, you can set boundaries on what is and is not acceptable. Regular training also provides physical and mental stimulation, which can help prevent behavioural concerns from popping up in the first place.

5️⃣ Building confidence

🐾 Through training, your dog learns that making decisions as well as interacting with you and their environment earns them really good (and tasty) things. In turn, your dog will be more open to new experiences.
