Back in the early stages of dating, my husband and I moved in together, and not long after, we got a puppy. We are both dog lovers and while we were working crazy, opposite shifts, he wanted to make sure that I didn’t get lonely at night. Our puppy is now a terrifically calm nine year old dog, but in those early months, he was a poof of crazy energy and destroyed whatever he could! It really makes me happy to hear that the American Kennel Club has a wonderful service called AKC GoodDog! Helpline available to help answer questions that a dog owner might have!

What AKC GoodDog! Helpline is, is a live telephone support service for behavioral and/or training advice from a team of knowledgeable trainers. It is available seven days a week and for the lifetime of your canine companion! I really wish I had this all those years ago, it would have helped me out as a first time puppy owner! Between school and working, poor Charlie got left alone a bit and would often act out, like destroying the base of a wall in a bedroom! If I had only been able to call or even go online and subscribe to training tips, which is offered through the helpline subscription, I could have saved a bit of money and my puppy might have been happier!
And this isn’t just for new puppy owners. I can remember when my uncle, who had had dogs before, got a new puppy and his personality and my uncle’s just didn’t click. Even with patience, he could not figure out why his dog would ask to go outside just to come back in and have an accident on the floor. I bet that the using AKC GoodDog! Helpline could have helped them both out! Sometimes questions arise as dogs get older too, and it wouldn’t hurt to have the ability to access knowledgeable trainers who want to help you and your dog, with just a phone call.
Subscriptions are slated at $79.99 for the lifetime of your K9 companion, but we have a special offer for our readers. Use code GDH3TO1 for an exclusive $50 off discount when you shop in the WOOFipedia store!
