Why is ongoing training important? ⬇️
There are many reasons, but I will touch on just a couple here. Just like one year of school isn't enough for humans, one year of training shouldn't be the end of training for your dog. This is, in part, due to the valuable enrichment that dogs get from using their brains during training. But it is also due to the fact that dogs change as they age, as does their behavior, and consistent training can help prevent and combat unwanted behaviors.
But there is also a benefit for us humans! When we practice observing our dogs and analyzing their behavior, as we do during training, we continue to gather insight that will promote a trust-based bond with our pets, something that brings joy to all participants!
So, grab some treats, your clicker, and a five minute timer and do some fun training with your dog today, no matter its age!
