Livingston Public Library: How To Train Your Dog: Library Resources

Press release from the Livingston Public Library:

July 28, 2022

Enjoying the “Dog Days” of summer?

If you are a dog owner looking for ideas to take your canine training to the next level, we have an informative and fun presentation by professional dog trainer Brett Shelby, scheduled for the evening of Monday August 1st.

In this workshop you will learn more about your canine friends to better understand them, so that you can get more of what you want through positive direction.

Brett will show you how to strengthen your relationship with your dog through proper communication and trust.

Says Brett, “Sit and Down” are good directions for your dog to start with, but what would be even better is if they do it naturally whenever you want, without having to command it of them.”

What’s more, Brett will be bringing in a dog or two, those that have never been worked with before, to demonstrate his teachings. There will be time for Q & A with the trainer at the end of the session.

Your Livingston Library card also gives you access to several books and online resources on dog training, and on canine psychology and behavior.
