TO THE EDITOR:
Each year, the Association of Pet Dog Trainers proclaims January “National Train Your Dog Month.” This campaign’s goal is to promote the importance of training and socialization to all dog owners.
Since January is the time for New Year’s resolutions, it is the perfect time for the dog owners of the Triangle and those who may be considering getting a dog to learn about the importance of training for their pet. The APDT web site has helpful information for pet owners at www.apdt.com/petowners. APDT’s other sites, www.trainyourdogmonth.com and www.mydoghasclass.com have additional tips and resources for dog owners. Free webinars and social media chats will occur during January as well.
APDT and its over 6,000 member trainers are dedicated to helping keep dogs in homes, showing dog owners how to fully enjoy and have fun with their dogs and to experience the joys of having a well-trained dog.
