I’m planning on getting a dog soon and would love some tips and tricks.
My tip is that when you take your dog for a walk, before crossing any street make them sit and wait for you to tell them to cross.
It helped when my dog got out a few times he would only walk around the block and never cross streets or run into traffic.
A friend and I did a clicker training class with our dogs. Both dogs had come from a shelter and the trainer gave a discount for rescues. We paid about $100 for five lessons. Well worth it!!
Yeah, professional training can be really helpful. Especially if they’re interactive with you as well so that you learn how to train while the dog is being trained. Imo a training course is only as good as the owner will be after, if that makes sense.
Ours was a cute little class with about 7 people/pups and we had weekly homework. It was really fun!
