A well-trained dog is a happy dog! Dogs are pack animals, and they need to know their place in the family hierarchy. Consistent training from the beginning teaches them that you are the boss. This is invaluable for their safety, as well as the safety and comfort of other people and pets around them. No one enjoys being around a dog who is ill-mannered and disobedient, but an obedient dog can be the sweetest companion you could ask for!
