Having a well behaved pup is an important part of a successful relationship with your dog, after all, no one wants a poorly behaved animal.
This is why training sessions or obedience classes are such an important foundation to any new relationship with a dog whether it be a new puppy or the adoption of an older dog.
Finding the right trainer for you and your pet really depends on your goals and lifestyle as well as the types of activity you want to include your dog in.
For example, you might not need extensive recall training for a chihuahua that is leash walked in a city.
At your pet's first visit with your vet, be sure to ask if they have recommendations for trainers in the area and remember, it's never too late to teach an old dog new tricks.
