Does your otherwise gentle and friendly puppy become a reactive, aggressive mess when you're walking her on leash? Better yet, would you like to PREVENT your puppy from becoming aggressive on leash? Read this week's Understanding Your Puppy about, "Aggressive on Leash."

"Putting Your Puppy in a Shelter," is this week's discussion in Training For Success. Here's why:

• 96% of dogs in shelters have had NO OBEDIENCE TRAINING.
• 50% of dogs in shelters were relinquished for behavior issues after the owner had the dog LESS THAN 90 DAYS.
• 48% of dogs in shelters are between 5 MONTHS and 3 YEARS OLD.

Pretty sad statistics, don't you think? Seven of the most common behavior issues that cause people to turn their dogs into shelters are discussed in this article, and how you can prevent your puppy from becoming one of these awful statistics. Please read it!
