There’s no shortage of Montana pups in need of dog obedience training. Over half of all the households in Big Sky Country have at least one dog. In fact, Montana ranks 2nd in the U.S. when it comes to dog ownership rates, exceeded only by neighboring Idaho.
This means that would-be dog trainers can find dogs in need of training no matter where you live. Big city or small town–there’s going to be plenty of two-legged Montanans looking for help training their four-legged friends.
