Why Ask A Pet Trainer? Print E-mail

training-1A pet trainer can help you to make your new pet more welcome in your family. Just like children, pets need to be trained to mind their manners... to know what is and is not allowed in your home, on your property or wherever else you may be with them.

A pet trainer shows you how to keep your pet safe, and how to keep everyone safe around your pet. Did you know that other pets can help train your pet?

Read the interview (below) with Susan Sharpe to learn how this works!

TAKING A PUPPY TO A DOG PARK :            MP3 File 
 

MAX of MillionDollarPetPix.com interviews Susan Sharpe, professional dog trainer and inventor in late January 2008 - The following is an excerpt from this interview. For the full interview, please download the audio file above.

MAX:  Susan, as  professional dog trainer, how do you feel about puppies going to dog parks?

SUSAN:   Well Max, since all puppies go through 2-known fear periods there is certainly a risk to taking them to a dog park.  We recommend not taking a puppy to a dog park until the puppy's owner has done their homework. 

Some of this homework may include visiting the dog park without your puppy and documenting who is there and at what times. This way you get to know what times may be more comfortable to introduce your new puppy into the area. When you do find a small group of friendly puppies and/or dogs introduce yourself to their owners.  Explain you have a puppy who, is in need of socialization and ask if you might join them. 

Dog parks are a great place for people to socialize as well, and often, due to different work schedules, the same people and their dogs will appear at the same approximate time of day.  Ideally the group will consist of 3 to 6 puppies and/or dogs.
