For National Train Your Dog Month, we will promote training the family dog with everyday manners – the behaviors found in the APDT’s Canine Life and Social Skills program. We will offer a variety of tips and tricks for teaching the “basics” – sit, down, stay, wait, coming when called and walking on a loose leash.

If you are looking for a professional dog trainer to help turn your four-legged family member into a well-behaved canine citizen, visit APDT’s trainer search at locateatrainer.org.
