Introducing the Top Ten Best Dog Trainers in the United States, online lifestyle Top Ten Magazine noted that although dogs are our best friends, there are problems pet parents often face such such as jumping on people, dragging people along on walks, refusing to come when called, begging for food, barking at visitors, chasing  dogs, cats, cars and other behavior that may annoy and leave pet parents confused. They may not know what to do or how to solve these problems in order to live a joyful and peaceful lifestyle. Top Ten Magazine encourages pet parents to find a competent professional dog trainer who can help to handle these problems.
