“C’mon, Pooch, Get With the Program”
The New York Times has recently run a couple of articles on dogs and dog training.
“C’mon, Pooch, Get With the Program” explores the rise of dog training classes as owners expect more from their dogs and as the dog’s role in human society changes from outdoor protector and hunter to indoor soul mates.
An earlier article, “Good Dog, But What About the Trainer?” explores the fact that there are no firm standards or regulations for dog trainers. Anyone who wants to can call themselves a professional dog trainer. It also discusses the differences between group classes and private in-home training.
