Join host Ellie Rau in this week’s episode to learn how teaching your dog basic obedience cultivates a better relationship between you and your pet!

Obedience training is something a lot of dog owners look into when they first bring home a new puppy, but is not often something that is maintained consistently throughout a dog’s life. This can create problems down the line, where dogs begin misbehaving, unclear of what rules they should or should not follow, all due to a lack of understanding between the person and their pet. A dog that has a solid foundation of obedience training not only is more well behaved, but is usually happier and feels more understood.

You can look forward to hearing from expert dog trainer and president of Patriot Paws of Aggieland, Shelby McMillan. She will explain how basic obedience plays a big role in not just service dog training, but a normal pet’s everyday life as well.
