From the AKC Gazette, written by Margaret Gibbs, a professional dog trainer.
· Once a puppy is ready to be socialized , it should be enrolled in a well—run puppy class.
· Owners who fail to realise the importance of training during their dog’s puppyhood will likely face problems when the dog reaches maturity.
· If an adult dog does not live up to expectations, owners must examine how they failed to develop a mature, responsive, well behaved dog from the raw material of a puppy
The importance of training your puppy cannot be over emphasized, especially in today’s world where we face a myriad of challenges. The SARRC endorses the trainers listed below.
