Why it matters

Why behavior help matters

Body

#1reason dogs are given up to shelters: behavior problems.1

Behavior problems are the most common reason dogs are given up to shelters - in eight out of nine studies.1 Getting help early keeps families together.

Mind

How you train matters. Dogs trained with punishment had bigger jumps in stress hormones and showed more stress signs than dogs trained with rewards.2
