Thinking About Getting a Dog? Talk to a Trainer First #dogtrainingtips #petparent #dog

Most people wait until their dog’s behavior becomes a problem before calling a trainer. However, the truth is that the best time to consult a professional dog trainer is before you even bring your dog home.

This clip comes from the full episode “Are You Rewarding Your Dog’s Bad Behavior Without Realizing It?” and “How to Choose the Right Dog Trainer” on The Pet Parent Hotline with host Amy Castro and trainer Bradley Phifer. They discuss how early guidance can help you choose the right breed or individual dog for your lifestyle and prevent behavior issues before they start.
