Woof Meow Show – National Train Your Dog Month – Sunday, January 17th – 8:30PM – WVOM 103.9FM & WVQM 101.3FM

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

On this Sunday’s show I’ll be taking with Mychelle Blake, the Communications Director for the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT) about “National Train Your Dog Month.

The Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT) has declared January 2010 to be the first National Train Your Dog Month. Every year dog guardians throughout our nation encounter behavior problems with a dog and not knowing what to do or where to go, they surrender hundreds of thousands of dogs to animal shelters and humane societies in the hopes that the shelter will find their problem dog a new home. By publicly declaring a month dedicated to dog training, the APDT hopes to help the public become more aware of the vital importance of socializing and training every dog. They have setup a new website, www.trainyourdogmonth.com that offers training tips, and information on how to find a qualified, reward-based trainer. Perhaps the most important tip of all is “Make training  a part of your everyday life with your dog!”

The members of the Green Acres training staff are all members of the APDT and our six Certified Professional Dog Trainers are all Professional members of the APDT. We offer a wide variety of training classes from Puppy Headstart to Canine Good Citizen/Therapy Dog classes, and also offer private behavior consultations for more serious behavior problems such as aggression.
