* Training:
Why should you do training with your pet? Do you remember your first day of school or at a new job? Remember the anxiety you felt until you established your place among your co-workers or schoolmates? Your dog feels the same way when you have not taken the time to establish your relationship with him/her. Taking an obedience class with your pet allows them to understand, in doggy speak, who's in charge... and that will reduce your pets anxiety which, in turn, will reduce other behavioral issues such as destructive or aggressive tendencies, barking, pulling, lunging and more.
