Why Train Our Dogs?
At Heartland Animal Shelter we strongly believe in "dog training". We believe this
training provides several benefits:
- It teaches the dog "manners," so that it can live with us in our homes.
Learning commands such as "sit" and "stay" let us convey to the dog what is expected of it.
- It helps the dog learn how to interact with other dogs and other animals. Ideally, the pup's mother teaches it how to fit into the pack, but these lessons often need to be supplemented.
- It helps to strengthen the bond between the dog and humans and to generally enrich the relationship we have with our canine companions. If the dog and the human companions
can communicate in a clear and consistent manner, their relationship can
strengthen.
