5 Reasons To Have Your Dog Trained

Every dog owner wants their beloved pet to be as healthy and happy as possible.  Proper diet, regular exercise, and routine veterinarian visits are all important for a healthy dog.  Consider the benefits of professional dog training to enhance your experience as a dog owner and the happiness of your dog.

Dog training with a professional trainer can help reduce your pet’s anxiety, prevent behavioral problems, and improve your dog’s interactions with people and other dogs. A calm well trained dog will be happier, and both the dog and owner will enjoy a better, more fulfilling, and balanced relationship.  Here are 5 reasons why you should have your dog trained.

SAFETY

A well-trained dog is safer than a dog who does not listen.  Dogs that obey an owner’s commands are less likely to get into dangerous situations. A dog that runs away is vulnerable to danger on all sides.  Consider traffic, wild animals, other dogs, or getting lost. Any of those examples could be perilous to your dog. 

Dog training teaches your best friend to listen quickly, and will benefit from that security.

REDUCES ANXIETY

Dog training produces a more relaxed, better-adjusted dog.  This reduces anxiety because the dog has been properly trained and understands the boundaries and expectations of his or her behavior.  A less anxious dog will have better interactions with other dogs, new adults, and children.  Dog training promotes good behavior and manners in public and we work closely with you to make sure you and your dog are working together. 

SMOOTHER VET VISITS

A visit to the vet can be one of the most distressing times for a dog.  Dog training can help make these visits easier by preparing the dog for situations like this.  A well-trained dog with less anxiety will be better equipped to handle the situation.  

CORRECT BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS

Despite the myth, older dogs can be trained.  Older dogs with aggression issues, anxiety issues, and non-medical potty accidents can all greatly benefit from dog training.  A proper program will address these issues and take corrective action.  The dog can then lead a happier, healthier, less anxious, and more fulfilling life.

STRONGER BOND

Perhaps the most rewarding benefit of dog training is the stronger bond between the dog and owner.  The owner will better understand the needs of the dog and will learn healthy methods of communication.  The dog will have an understanding of their behavioral expectations and this will create a balanced relationship with you and your dog. 

Add this up and you have a stronger bond, better relationship, and happier dog. After successful dog training you can bring your pet along with you on all of your adventures to further expand and explore the relationship.
