You love your dog and want to provide them with great care in a loving home. However, if your dog exhibits destructive behaviors or makes living with them more of a hassle than a joy sometimes, it may be time to invest in professional dog training.
Here are a few signs that indicate professional dog training could be in your best interests:
- Your dog ignores commands. When you give your dog a command, do they consistently ignore you? Basic commands, such as “sit” or stay,” should be second nature for your dog to follow. If they can’t follow these commands, this may indicate a lack of training or a lack of understanding these commands in the first place.
- Your dog jumps on people. If your dog jumps on people when greeting them, this can either be due to a lack of impulse control or a sign of excitement. Professional dog training can teach your dog more appropriate greeting behavior, which is especially important for larger breeds that could potentially hurt someone if they jump on them.
- Your dog pulls on the leash. Dogs that pull excessively on the leash during walks can make your outdoor excursions unpleasant and difficult. With proper leash training, you can teach your dog to calmly walk beside you.
