Most participants recognize the importance of canine training for a harmonious coexistence with their dogs. This involves reducing unwanted behavior, promoting obedience and strengthening the bond between dog and owner. The use of rewards is widely accepted as an effective and ethical training tool. However, financial limitations and lack of knowledge about training options are obstacles that make it difficult to access professional services and adequate information. It is essential to overcome these barriers through accessible educational resources, financial support and awareness of the importance of proper training.
