January Is "Train Your Dog Month"

Don't give up on your dog, train him. If you have an old dog, you can teach him new tricks. If you've gotten one for Christmas or are considering one to start the new year, this is an important tool:

	National Train Your Dog Month occurs every January to promote the importance of training and socialization.

Description

Sponsored by the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (www.apdt.com), the goal of National Train Your Dog Month is to promote the importance of training and socialization to create harmonious relationships between dogs and their people. By promoting positive, science-based training which focuses on improving the bond between dogs and humans, the APDT hopes more dogs and families will lead happier lives and we can help stop the flood of dogs turned in to shelters for training and behavior issues that could be easily worked on with the assistance of a qualified professional trainer. Our 2012 event will feature a contest for APDT members on their 2012 Trainer Resolutions. We are grateful to our prize sponsor, Newtrix, Inc.
