Training is important for the well being of a dog and their owner, especially for rescue dogs who often come from circumstances where they have had little to no training. Training can also be a great bonding experience and a good way to exercise your dogs brain too!

( 1 ) Go to a dog training class
Training with a professional trainer in a group setting is the best type of training education out there. We highly recommend Derrick Rollerson at Elmhurst Animal Care Center!
