Seattle Dog Training Schools

Good training makes for a happy dog and owner relationship, and finding the right program is important for both you and your pet. Training is done in stages that depend on your dog's age. Puppies begin with proper dog walking, moving up to commands to sit, stay, fetch and follow at later stages.
