Why Do Dogs End Up In Shelters

Poor or ineffective training or no training is one reason dogs are sent to shelters

Every year millions of dogs are surrendered to animal shelters due to behavioral   problems and poor training.   "He's not housebroken.  He jumps on the kids. He bites at our hands and clothes.   She barks too much. She pulls on the leash. She chews the furniture."   Now the dog is in the shelter and hoping for a new home. Even if the dog does find   some family willing to take him, he will still have the same training or behavioral   problem that brought him to the shelter in the first place. This severely reduces his   chances of remaining in his new home and increases the chances he will return to a   shelter.   All of these issues and behavior problems can be prevented or remedied using the   training techniques I am going to show you.   Don't let training and behavior problems be a reason why you would give your dog to   animal shelter. Whether you are trying to correct bad behavior problems or you just   want to make sure your dog will lead a happy fulfilled life the information presented   here will help you achieve these goals
