Advocacy

More places where dogs are welcome

American Dog Society works to increase access to parks, beaches, and businesses for dogs. Having more areas to take dogs, creates better happier and better behaved dogs. 

We encourage more businesses and offices to be dog friendly. 

We are vocal to improve current dog parks and create new parks.

To encourage. positive training

American Dog Society is against prong collars, shock collars (other than small static shock), and other pet supplies that use harmful training tactics. 

We believe in positive reinforcement, trust, and confidence building training. When training is done using negative techniques, it may get fast results BUT it creates mistrust, anxiety, depression, fear, and aggression.
