There are so many good reasons to train your dog, but fundamentally a well-trained dog will make your life easier and will help you get the most from your four-legged friend.
Training should start as soon as you have your puppy. However if you rescue an adult dog, there is nothing stopping you training them too – training can happen at any age!
