Dog Training Education Month

February is dog training education month. The Paw Print Blog would like to take a moment to remind pet parents why a well-trained pet is great for everyone! Here’s what you can do to get there.

Dogs around the world could use a little extra training.

There are many dogs out there that could benefit from dog training and education. Whether it’s a puppy or an older dog that never received crucial training strategies, many different types of training are equally important.

It starts with you.

An untrained pet starts with the pet parent. As you know, different breeds are easier to train than others. Keep that in mind when implementing a new training regimen. Bring your patience and understanding.

You don’t have to do it alone.

There is a ton of support out there for pet parents looking for ways to train their pet effectively. Some of the options include reading reputable blog posts around the web, asking friends with well-behaved dogs, and even reaching out to a professional for help. Some humane societies or shelters offer affordable, if not free, help in training a pet.

The best time to start is now.

Depending on the age of your pet, he or she may have already established naughty behaviors. But there’s no better time to start training them than today. Of course it would be great if all pets were trained as puppies, but that’s just not the case. We can’t ignore our older pets!

It’s not their fault.

Try to remember that behavior issues with a pet are not necessarily their fault. Pets do not want to displease their parents. Give them proper training and see the amazing results. Even the most stubborn dog can learn a few new things.

Always keep learning and educating yourself.

Dog Training Education Month is important because it reminds us never to stop learning. Training your pet and educating yourself can be incredibly beneficial to you and your pets. It can also be very fun! It gives us the opportunity to bond with our pets, while teaching them important skills.

It can be a lot of fun.

Spending extra time with your pet is always a wonderful thing and can be so much fun when you combine training with some play activities. Training and then taking part in agility competitions gives tremendous excitement to both you and your pet.

Don’t you just love these pet-related holidays!
