Dog training is not merely a collection of isolated sessions. Dog training is an ongoing process that occurs during specified training sessions and through the rest of every dogs day. The lessons taught during dog training times should be reinforced at all times. Additionally, an owner should recognize that there is no particular time frame for dog training. It is a process that literally lasts the lifetime of the dog/owner relationship. Those who see training as a discrete step or defined moment in a dogs life are likely not to get the results they desire from their training regimen. Dog training not only lasts a lifetimeit occurs over the course of a lifetime.
