Reasons to Promote Dog Training to New Adopters
Dog training is an important part of adopting a dog for so many reasons:-
Dog training is a great way for adopters to bond quickly with their new companion
-
Dog training helps build healthy relationships between pet parents and their newly adopted dog by caring for their physical, mental, social and emotional needs
-
Group classes provide a fun and safe environment for newly adopted dogs
-
Puppy classes focus on teaching polite manners and help build the foundation for good socialization skills
-
The American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen® (CGC) class certification improves on cues already learned and is an excellent way to prepare for therapy dog training
-
Petco’s Certified Dog Trainers can usually answer most pet parents’ questions about training and how to care for their new pets, and can provide strategies for long-term success
-
Positive reinforcement is contagious, so pet parents begin using the skills they learn at dog training in other areas of their lives
Be sure to recommend that every adopted dog completes a minimum of six weeks of group classes. Your adopters will thank you for it!
