What’s more, sending them to a dog obedience training class will help establish a kind of hierarchy (social) in which the dog owner, the dog and other family members are members and which will help in developing a good working relationship between dog and his owner.
When the dog receives training he will find that his behavior is being controlled so that he will soon come to learn that certain actions are desirable while others are not.
