Are you looking for a professional dog trainer? Here are 2 resources:

"The Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT) is a professional organization of individual trainers who are committed to becoming better trainers through education.

The APDT offers individual pet dog trainers a respected and concerted voice in the dog world. We continue to promote professional trainers to the veterinary profession and to increase public awareness of dog friendly training techniques.

*Also, Group Classes at PetSmart are generally positive based and run by knowledgeable trainers as well.


Are you confused or worried about dominance?

Here is an excellent article in .doc format delineating what it IS, what it is NOT, and how to achieve it... "Debunking the Dominance Myth"

and from the great Ian Dunbar, "Why Can't a Dog Be Like a Dog?"

What are the most important things a puppy needs to learn?


1. Household Etiquette
2. Home Alone
3. Socialization with People
4. Dog-Dog Socialization
5. Sit and Settle Down Commands
6. Bite Inhibition
