Especially for PUPPIES!!! 

Obedience training is one of the most important aspects of raising any dog. In fact, a well trained dog is by far a happier dog! Why? Because a trained dog requires fewer restrictions. The more reliable the dog, the more freedom he is given. Brightstar strongly reccomends all DOGS esp. PUPPIES attend obedience training. Please visit our training page for a list of reccomended trainers. The articles below will also help new people adopters with a variety of issues common to new puppy ownership.
