Dog Training Education Month

This month is Dog Training Education Month, a time to get familiar with dog training techniques and start learning how to finish the process of training your dog. In spite of popular opinion, many old dogs can learn new tricks, and so can people. In order to train our dogs well, sometimes we have to learn a thing or two about how our dogs’ minds work. 

The team at Belchertown Veterinary Hospital would like to remind you about the importance of having a well-trained dog. Sure, they might not be jumping through hoops for you (literally), but you want them to be well-behaved. Ask us for our Belchertown, MA training recommendations!
