January: Train Your Dog Month!

by Jennifer Smith January 04, 2019

It shouldn't come as a surprise that people are training their dogs in January. After all, many individuals just received dogs as gifts over the holidays. This January, train dogs in the backyard to teach them how to socialize with other animals and learn their new surroundings.

New dog owners will need to establish boundaries for dogs to ensure that the pets will not run away. Dog owners can place boxes around a yard to show them where they can and cannot go and help them walk along the property. Keep dogs leashed until the dog learns the new surroundings; then, take them off to see if they get the hang of it.

Yard fencing for dogs will help with training new pets. The fencing will not only keep dogs securely inside the perimeter of a yard but will also keep away wildlife and strangers that may try to harm the domestic animal.

This January, train dogs to stay inside the property line.
