Fire Up Your Social Media Networks During Train Your Dog Month

It’s December already, so that means in just a few days it will be the start of APDT’s Train Your Dog Month (TYDM), which celebrates dogs and stresses the importance of canine training among pet professionals as well as modern families with four-legged members.

APDT is challenging our members and supporters to share the value of training dogs on social media outlets. Education is the APDT’s core mission, and TYDM is our version of a public service announcement and enables more canine professionals to better service their clientele and help more pets and people live better, happier lives together.

As an incentive, APDT has a National Train Your Dog Month long-sleeve T-shirt in our signature blue with our logo on the front and Don’t Blame Them. TRAIN THEM! on the back. The cost is $25, but supplies are limited. To get yours before January, please order by Fri., Dec. 8, 2017, at bit.ly/2ilY9yP or call (800) PET-DOGS.

Please visit www.TrainYourDogMonth.com to see the free resources for pet lovers, like tips on kids and pets interacting; considerations for multi-pet homes; understanding training methods and busting dominance myths; plus how to find the right trainer for you and your pet’s needs. Thanks to our members who helped create these insightful references. Those resources on our website may be found at apdt.com/petowners.

Encourage shelters and other animal organizations to also promote TYDM. Dogs with just the basic training are less likely to be turned into shelters, and with a little knowledge, their owners can find out what they are doing to cause reactive behaviors in their animals. It’s a win-win for us all!
