Imagine you are a child about to go riding on a beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon.
Even though you are afraid of dogs your mother allows you to go riding with your new bike.
Some of the other children in the neighborhood are also afraid of dogs because somehow there are a lot of dogs around where you live.
Nevertheless your friends all came by and the front lawn if filled with lying bicycles because everyone is inside getting a treat from mom before the ride.
One the way, the convoy of bicycles turned the corner and would you know it, two vicious dogs jumped the fence and they are just waiting for you and your friends to get down the street to where the dogs are waiting with teeth glaring.
At that point, wouldn't you be glad if by the time you get down the road the dogs' owners make it in time to get their dogs back inside? Imagine how wonderful it would be if the dogs would be obedient dogs that would listen to their master's commands to sit and stay, so you would not have to be afraid of the dogs.
It is at these times that it would be good to know that people actually take the time to train their dogs or send them to obedience school or something.
Because these days there are a lot of talk on the news about children and people getting attacked by vicious dogs.
For whatever the reason dogs attack and because of this a lot of people are afraid of dogs.
Having a trained dog is a necessity because training is not only good for the dog, but it can keep its owners from getting in trouble with the law if they bite someone.
It can also save the life of the dog.
Disobedient dogs that would not heed a sit or stay command, or even listen to its master at all, can run out into the street and get hit by a vehicle.
Most dog owners would say they love their dogs and if they love their dogs they would want to know that their dog is trained and would heed a command before running in the street or would like to know that their "best friend" is house trained.
