Puppy Class?
Why should you enroll your puppy
in class at 8 weeks of age?

The AVMA  (American Veterinary
Medical Association)
says:
"Obedience Training and
Socialization" ~
A MUST for every good family
dog, regardless of size or breed!
Puppies may start classes when
they are as young as 7-8 weeks
old. Check with your veterinarian
for class recommendations."

The American Veterinary
Society of Animal Behavior
(AVSAB)
recently released a
position statement on the use of
punishment for behavior
modification (training), which
received some press from
AAHA
(American Animal Hospital
Association
-- looked to as the
"gold standard" for quality
veterinary care).

Top Notch Dog Training strongly
supports the AVSAB's statement
and joins with the AAHA in
supporting the position statement..

Society of Animal Behaviorist's
