A lot of people think that only puppies can be trained.
They think teaching your fur baby anything new when they reach a certain age is impossible.
They believe you can’t change their habits when adopting an older pet.
Well, that’s not true!
Adult dogs have a better attention span.
Adult dogs have more self-control.
These traits make them easier to train than puppies.
Younger dogs may pick things more quickly, but it is still possible to train older dogs.
Sure, they may be set in their ways, but they can still be taught new things.
The Association of Professional Dog Trainers established National Train Your Dog Month, knowing that dogs can be trained at any age.
People ask, why is it important to train your dog?
Training does the following things for your fur baby:
Builds confidence.
Provides mental stimulation.
Strengthens the human-animal bond.
Training is necessary because dogs need socialization and schooling to become well-behaved companions.
Some activities you can do during Train Your Dog Month are:
Teach your pet a new trick, like rolling over or playing fetch.
Enjoy Furry Fridays by taking your dog for a walk or watching a movie together!
Post on social media your dog training accomplishments and challenges.
You can do a lot more to enjoy this month, focusing on training your fur baby.
But…there are times you feel like just giving up.
You may think that it’s impossible to train your dog to urinate in the proper place, but it doesn’t just occur.
There may be a reason why this isn’t happening.
You may need to have your fur baby checked.
They may have a urinary problem that can be solved by the family veterinarian.
That’s why it’s a great idea to have your pet checked.
Your pet may be experiencing something uncomfortable or painful.
That is why they don’t want to fetch, jump or do anything else.
