- Why can't I send my dog to you to be trained?
- The goal of Love Your Canine is to teach you how to become the best trainer for your dog!
- When you know how to effectively teach your dog it strengthens the bond you have with your companion and allows you to continue teaching your dog new behaviors! This is stimulating and fun for both of you!
- When dogs are sent away to "doggy school" often times the dogs revert back to their old behaviors after a few weeks or months because they owners did not learn how to train the dog or how to maintain the training.
- A well mannered dog does not get that way with sporadic two week "training camps." One of the most important rules of dog training is consistency, if you know how to train and properly motivate your dog you will be able to consistently practice and improve upon their training.
