Positive Dog Training and How to Be Your Dog's Best Advocate

Jordan from Fangs and Fur Pets joins us and stresses the importance of understanding a dog’s behavior and response to situations. Jordan explains that the first step is to always approach a dog in a neutral way, giving them time to feel comfortable before attempting to interact with them. Additionally, Jordan highlights the importance of respecting a dog’s space and always asking permission to pet any dog, even in public.When interacting with a dog that is not your own, it is essential to be respectful. Jordan recommends always asking the owner what the best way to interact with their dog is. Jordan stresses the importance of consistency when training a dog and recommends finding a dog trainer that you and your pet can relate to. Additionally, taking notes and recording training sessions is essential in order to remember what was done and to track progress. Lastly, Jordan recommends being your dog’s best advocate and saying no to people who want to pet your dog if it is not the right time or situation.Join the Wildside for updates and discounts!Learn more about Steve's Real Foods.Learn more about Northwest Naturals.Learn more about Lifetime Pet Wellness Center.We are a local, independent, and owner-operated shop that is committed to providing the dogs and cats in our hometown of Columbus, Ohio with the best possible foods, supplements, and gear available. Also, we're a little different.
