The Truth About Dogs and Human Society Numbers

Salem, OR, (PRWEB) November 2, 2007 -- Melisa Bethel today launched a new blog on dog training techniques. During the last 3 years the increase in dogs entering Human Society's has increased by 7%. One of the main reasons for this is the fact that these dogs are untrained and now unwanted.

With over 4 million K-9's entering these Society's each year there are few of them placed in new homes while the others are destroyed. Human Shelter will spend over 1 billion dollars each year to destroy unwanted animals. What can we do to help these numbers?

First, spay and neuter all of are dogs. Over a time of six years one female dog and her offspring can possibly produce over 67,000 dogs.

Next, let us train these animals, so we can enjoy their companionship for the duration of their lives. There are a number of class's a person can take and also books to educate one on the proper ways of training. Education is the key to training a dog.

How about the purchase of a puppy? While there are lots of breeders who advertise in the local paper, should we buy from these breeders? The Human Society says, "NO." They say that purchasing a puppy from a breeder is only encouraging them to breed again. Also, that some breeders are not involved with proper veterinarian procedures and often breed one animal a very high number of times thus endangering the animals life.
