“Who should train your dog?

Acquiring a dog, whether a purebred puppy or a shelter rescue, is a big step for most people and fortunately there is a lot of good information available to make a good choice. Deciding who should train your dog is another matter. Unless you have lots of experience training dogs yourself, you probably have not even considered who should train your dog – and if you just rely on newspaper ads or business cards left in a vet’s office to find a trainer, you may be very disappointed in the outcome. Fetching the Perfect Dog Trainer by Katenna Jones presents all of the information you need to know to find the right trainer for your based on your lifestyle and the particular behaviours your dog needs to learn. Your dog is too important to not make the right trainer decision.

You will learn:

  • How to evaluate and interview a prospective trainer to know if she is right for your dog.
  • Red flags to watch for based on what a trainer says and what you observe.
  • The common characteristics of effective and humane trainers.
  • About training organisations and their certification programs.
  • What kind of training you may be able to do on your own and what should be left to a professional.
