Upcoming Seminars w/ Ian Dunbar Training Can Be Fun! Good training is mentally stimulating & relationship building. January is National Train Your Dog Month. In the words of Dr. Ian Dunbar, "Training is all about teaching dogs about the human way - our rules and customs - and especially, motivating dogs to want to be on our team. When education is enjoyable, unpleasantness or physical force is simply unnecessary. We must all do our best to ensure that puppy/dog owners realize that science-based dog training is quick and easy but above all, that it is SO MUCH FUN! Dog training is the way you enjoy living with your dog." (Click here to read the rest of his post.)
