Greenville, SC, October 8, 2013 — For the fourth annual National Train Your Dog Month, the Association of Professional Dog Trainers will promote training the family dog with everyday manners – the behaviors found in the APDT’s Canine Life and Social Skills program!

The APDT will offer a variety of free webinars to the public with tips and tricks for teaching the “basics” – sit, down, stay, wait, coming when called and walking on a loose leash. We will also focus Facebook chats for the public on these topics to help promote taking your dog to a basic training class and understanding how your life with your dog can be enhanced by knowing these behaviors.

Contests!
The APDT has several contests set up:

Training Testimonials Contest
We’re looking for short – no more than one (1) minute –video clips that feature testimonials about how training your dog improved both your life and your relationship with your dog. This contest is open to the public, from everyday dog owner to full-fledged dog trainer. We’re looking for clips that let the public better understand the value and benefits of training your dog. We will choose three winners who will each receive a $25 Visa gift card. The deadline for submissions is January 31, 2014. Additional information and guidelines can be found online at www.trainyourdogmonth.com/testimonials.
