Helping make your best friend, even better
January isĀ APDT'sĀ National Train Your Dog Month, a special time to highlight the importance of dog socialization and training. It's the perfect opportunity to show you that training your dog can be both easy and enjoyable! At Dogma, we believe in two key principles:
- Training should be fun!
- Dogs are family.
Throughout January, weā€™re breaking down the essential principles of dog training to help you strengthen the bond with your furry companion. Weā€™re here to offer free resources, share fun tips, and show you simple ways to integrate your dog successfully into both your family and our busy human world.
Be sure to check back weekly as we update this page with new webinars and more training tips to guide you and your dog on the path to success!
Free Webinars
We know that the more people understand about their canine family members, the better our dog's lives will be. When dogs understand what is expected of them, and their physical and mental needs are being met, they live happier, stress-free lives. And when that happens, we enjoy our time together more and they can participate in more day-to-day activities with us.
For Train Your Dog Month, we will be releasing a free webinar each week! Members, you will get additional training videos weekly that dive deep into some core concepts to help further your dog's training.
