Remember to pick up after your dog. Forestall problems for yourself and your dog and all dog lovers by being a good neighbor. Obedience training for everyone One way to make your dog a good neighbor is through obedience training. A poorly behaved dog is a problem for everyone. A well trained dog is not only a pleasure to own, he is a goodwill ambassador for the entire canine community.
Obedience classes are available in most communities.
Time spent training your dog is time well spent. Maintain a registry for purebred dogs and preserve its integrity. Sanction dog events that promote interest in, and sustain the process of, breeding for type and function of purebred dogs. Take whatever actions are necessary to protect and assure the continuation of the sport of purebred dogs. Dogs with limited registration may compete in AKC events, except for conformation shows.
