Why chose a certified Dog Trainer?
According to national statistics, only 10% of Dog Trainers are professionally educated, trained, and certified through an accredited vocational school or program. Many "Dog Trainers" are self-educated through experience or working with other trainers. The result? A lot of inconsistency, as well as frustrated dog owners who often times don't get the results they are looking for. Uneducated Dog Trainers can actually make behavior problems much, much worse. When vetting dog trainers, ask about educational background, certifications, and training methodology.
A formal training, education and certification program for Dog Trainers covers many important subjects, such as:
Breed Characteristics
History of Dog Training
Learning Theories - Classical and Operant Conditioning
Problem Solving
Behavioral Characteristics
Obedience Training
and much, much more.
