30 Sep Dog Training Resource Guide

You may have heard the expression “you can’t teach an old dog, new tricks.” While any dog can be trained, it is much easier on the trainer and the dog to begin dog training at a younger age. While puppies have a lot more energy and generally shorter attention spans, they also can be easier trained than older dogs.

There are several different ways to train your dog. One would be hiring a professional trainer to alter the behavior of the dog. Another would be to take the dog to training classes, where the owner and the dog are shown techniques on how to train the dog in a classroom setting. The third way would be for the owner and dog to work together on their own.

There is not any correct way to train a dog, since each dog and owner are unique. However, we have gathered several resources below on dog training which will help make the dog training decision easier:
