Training your pet can be a walk in the park

Training your pet can feel like an overwhelming task, but experts say it doesn’t have to be a stressful experience. Lidia Vesterfelt with Michigan Humane stopped by “Live in the D” to give some advice on where to start with dog training.

“Always make it a positive experience for them. You don’t ever want them to feel forced to do tricks. It’s meant to be a bonding time for you and your pet,” Vesterfelt said.

She also recommended the following when it comes to pet training.

• Start with basic tricks like, sit or speak
• Use food and other positive reinforcements while training
• Speak to your vet about training
