Publisher's Synopsis
There are a lot of methods that many professionals suggest for training your dog. Not only is this fun and allows you to interact with your pet in a number of different ways, you are also going to get the chance to teach it to follow orders and establish yourself as the alpha.
All dogs need proper training, and training your dog doesn't have to be arduous or expensive. Whether you are sharing your home with a new puppy or an adult dog, it's never too soon to start training your dog. Most dogs are happier with the structure and confidence that comes from training.
It can feel overwhelming when you first begin to work on dog training. If you're unsure where to begin, develop a week-by-week schedule to help you get organized. Each week, choose one or two basic commands to work on. Plan to make some adjustments to your dog's environment in order to prevent or modify behavior problems.
