About
Millions of dogs are handed into dog shelters each year. Often it is because they are badly behaved and haven’t been trained properly. A well-behaved, trained dog is 6 times less likely to end up in a shelter.
Responsible pet parents need to take the time and effort to set house rules and teach their pets essential dog commands. Training strengthens your bond with your pet, making them a happier, friendlier, and calmer dog.
This video course by professional dog trainer Ian Stone will show you how to train your dog in a fun way. Following Ian in action, you’ll see how to turn your furball into a well-behaved dog that’s not a danger to himself or to others.
