Finally, Dog Care and Training Information You Can Trust

As the internet becomes more and more the dog care and training information resource for dog owners, so more and more websites are popping up. Unfortunately, many of these are nonsense sites, created by random owners who aren't really qualified to be giving out their "knowledge". This is especially prevalent on blogs and dog owner's forums.

Besides the web, other sources of information (each one claiming to know the right answer) include:

1) other dog owners - while some may be qualified, the vast majority are not experts on dog care and training.

2) breeders - they may actually know a lot about caring for a canine, but be wary of training advice unless they are professional trainers.

3) pet stores - these places are especially notorious for giving out "free" pet training advice about using collars and training in general.

4) vets - keep in mind, this is an animal health practitioner. While I took a course on dog care, I am an expert on dog training. In the same way, your vet might've learned a little about training, but they are in no wise experts in this field. I highly recommend taking their advice over mine on dog care and health issues, but I also highly recommend that you take my advice over your vet's on dog training.
