Why Train Early?
Statistics state that only 1/3 of dogs stay with their original owners!
Of the dogs being relinquished the majority (47.7%) were between 5 months and 3 years of age, and 37.1% had been owned from 7 months to 1 year. Hopefully early, basic, humane training will help lower these statistics and make the human-animal bond more secure. And, it is good to know that it is never "too late" to start communicating with your dog! |
