This is part of a series in keeping your furkids, especially the elder variety, feeling and looking their best. It is not intended to supercede medical advice or directives.

Obedience training is not dependent on the age of your dog or your financial resources.

Teaching your dog a few commands makes rehab, and other aspects of your dog’s care & health, much easier.

You cannot tell a dog to go perform a few leg squats in the corner but with you can have him achieve the same effects by using the “sit” command. (And teaching “stand” or “stay” or ?? is even better.)

Teaching a dog something challenges him. Dogs like challenges.

It has been said that dogs can learn up to 150 seperate words.

Now, GO. Teach.
