JACKSON, Tenn. — It’s National Foster a Pet Month!
When we take in a new dog, they may have at least one behavioral issue that needs a little guidance.
Whether it’s chewing, pouncing on people, dashing out doors, or begging at the table, simple training issues can be handled at home.
Bradley Phifer, executive director of the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers, provides guidance about re-training new furry best friends and knowing when to hire a dog trainer, including a qualified dog trainer.
“Dog training should be proactive. It’s something that we do early on in an effort to teach the dog how to behave in a way that we want them to, make sure they’re comfortable when people come over to the house and out in public. And so it’s more of a proactive step of dog ownership than a reactive step,” said Phifer.
More than 65 million households own at least one dog!
