Why obedience training?

How it can help you, and your dog...

A dog with good obedience will make both of your lives happier and more fulfilled. Regular training helps to strengthen the bond between the owner and their dog, which in turn helps to ensure that your dog will respond and listen to you when needed. Many of the skills taught on obedience training are skills that are required for day to day life which ensures your dog’s safety such as recall, or being able to ‘leave it’ on command. A dog who knows how to navigate the world appropriately will have fewer behavioural problems and will ultimately be more content and happier.
