Dogs are the most popular type of pet in the United States. They have so many characteristics in such a variety that just about anyone (even cat lovers) can find some type of dog to love. Whether it has cute, fluffy looks or a strong build; whether it is the best friend of the kids or a hard-working dog, there’s a breed for everyone. But, no matter what type of dog you choose, there is an important first step to integrate the dog smoothly into the family. That step is to properly train the dog. An untrained dog can be disruptive to the family and even destructive.

In the East, good choices are dog training Philadelphia style or dog training NYC style.

Once the dog is trained, it will be a loyal companion. When you take it for a walk in the park, it will be content to follow you on the leash. When visitors come to your house, you can teach the dog not to jump on them. The visitors will be able to greet the dog on their terms, which may range from a shy “Hi, dog” to voluble hugs and kisses. You can even train the dog not to jump on the furniture, which will reduce the inevitable coating of hair on the sofa.

As you know, dogs are pack animals, and you want the pack leader to be the human and not the dog.

Once your favorite dog is obedience trained, the fun training can begin. Dogs like to please their masters and they love little treats. These traits mean that dogs often have as much fun learning tricks as the people have teaching them. With patience and rewards, you can teach your dog many tricks. The old standards are things like sit, lie down, shake, and play dead. Other fun tricks are catching a Frisbee, chasing a tennis ball, and flipping a treat from the nose to the mouth.

There are two final reminders. These are very important in today’s crowded world. First is the overpopulation problem. Too many dogs are born, and too many must be destroyed. This is a very sad situation. A major part of the solution is to spay and neuter you pet dog. Another aspect of this problem is puppy mills. Puppies born in puppy mills get a very unhappy start in life. The best way to do your part to solve these problems is to adopt a dog from a shelter. The final reminder is about what happens after the dog has dinner.

Remember that, basically, the dog is a fur-covered colon. Every dog owner must be diligent in cleaning up the mess and disposing of it properly. You may think it is OK to take the dog to a wooded area and leave the mess behind. After all, that is how the bears do it. But remember that when it rains, pet, the water washes the waste into the nearest creek. When you let your dog “go” in the woods, you are adding raw sewage to the watershed. Not a good idea.

Connor Sullivan recently looked into dog training Philadelphia for his pet pooch. His wife signed up for several dog training NYC classes to teach her dog agility training.
