Many studies show how important being fit is to you and your dog. According to Dog Owner’s Home Veterinary Handbook, approximately 20 percent of dogs are obese in the United States. They also state that it causes complications for those with several diseases such as arthritis, heart disease, and diabetes. Exercise also helps avoid a dog’s destructive behaviors such as digging, barking, and chewing that occur because of boredom and it can build confidence, and strengthen the dog and owners bond with each other.

It is often easy to choose a puppy because he is cute or you like the look of the breed, but once you have your dog you may find they are hard to house train, are not good around your children, or tend to be too active for your lifestyle. This is because we choose the wrong puppy to fit our family. Each breed of dog has unique traits, health concerns and tendencies.

Many people in our society own dogs but how many take the time to train them? It’s hard work so it’s easy to just give up but dogs are made to work and, without training, chaos happens.
