Don't just chose the first dog trainer that comes up when you search "dog trainer near me" and I'm not saying that because it probably isn't us ;)
Dog training is a delicate balance of training the dog and educating the human. It should never be a process where you, the dog owner, are uninvolved and don't know what steps are being taken to help correct your furry friend's challenges. Especially because there are trainers out there that will use horrible methods to get quick results from your dog.
You want to find someone who truly has a passion for helping dogs & people, understands how important behavior is for long-term success and can show you their own dog (or a client's) that they have trained.
Training should deepen the strong bond you have with your dog. When possible it should be fun, out of the box, creative and customized.
One of the perks of living with a dog trainer is that everything, even the box from a new chair that gets delivered, becomes a fun and entertaining game for the boys to play. They love to work and learn, whether they are "in the box" or out.
- Good vibes everyone and happy Friday!
