January is National Train Your Dog Month!  If you are struggling with training your furry family member, consider hiring a dog trainer to help.

Unfortunately, the industry itself is still unlicensed and unregulated so anyone can call themselves a dog trainer with no education and little to no experience.  For this reason, it is important to take the time to research not only the trainers themselves, but the different types of training techniques that they use before selecting a trainer.  Things have advanced significantly over the last several years in the training world and there are several things to consider.
 

To help get you started with your research, Companion Animal Psychology offers a very informative and detailed article on “How to Choose a Dog Trainer”.  

Things discussed in this article include:

• Qualifications to look for

• Importance of continuing education

• Methods used to train

• Customer testimonials

• And choosing classes and private dog training
