Mission Statement

The goal of Your Dog’s Friend is to help keep dogs out of shelters by educating and supporting their humans. We promote positive methods of training and behavior modification because they are effective, build trust and, unlike harsher, compulsion methods, cannot cause pain, aggression or fear in dogs. We also encourage early socialization and training for puppies to reduce the chance of behavior issues later.
