Training Tip Tuesday 🤓 Yes, you should pick your dog’s friends! You should match your dog to friends by temperament and play style. Is your dog a rugby player, a pace car, a wall flower or a poet? Knowing this helps you to recognize appropriate individuals to socialize with. It is an unrealistic expectation that all dogs should be friends. They should be able to pass one another with grace and dignity, but no, they don’t have to befriend every other dog. Stick to social engagements that are healthy for everyone involved🥰

Are the trainers certified with an internationally recognized governing body such as the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers? 3/ Ask for referrals from your veterinarian or friends with dogs who have attended programs they have enjoyed.
