Hounds Town USA franchisees based in Raleigh, Jenny Lasker and Andi Bradford, were invited into CBS 17’s studio with “My Carolina” hosts Adriana Davalos and Joanna Heims to share a few tips on training a new dog during the holiday adoptions season.

“Training is a long term commitment,” said Bradford. “So if you’re looking at a pet as a holiday present. that is not an investment. You’re missing a key point as to why you get a dog versus a big present in a box. One of the things you want to look at is love and patience. It is so important to give time, love and dedication [to the dog].”

Hounds Town USA is an interactive doggie daycare franchise that prides itself on understanding the behavior and psychology of dogs. Many animal rescues have seen adoption numbers spike during the holiday season, as many people choose to give puppies and dogs as gifts to their family.

Lasker and Bradford also provided recommendations on creating a routine for the dog, crate training and setting boundaries.

You can watch the entire segment on CBS 17’s website.
