Dog Training is both an art and a science.  We are skilled dog training professionals.  We get results, and we guarantee satisfaction.*

Choosing a trainer or behaviorist?  Not all training is the same quality or results.  In choosing a dog trainer or behaviorist, make sure they have the skills, experience, and knowledge that is required.  Not only scientific learning or "book knowledge", but hands-on experience, completion of apprenticeships, and experience with the type of issues you are having.  Avoid big box retail stores or chains who may hire anyone off the street.  Due to the economy, many new "hobby" dog trainers have popped up seeking part-time cash- If someone is charging very low prices, it is usually an indication of lack of experience/skill or someone who only trains as a weekend hobby and is not a dog professional.  Someone who doesn't have the skill & knowledge to guide you may cause more harm than help! 

A good trainer not only knows how to use all tools properly, but will adapt their teaching style and customize training for the individual dogs (and human) needs.  The training techniques should be balanced, fair,  safe for your dog, and also make sense to you.  You must be your dogs advocate in seeking humane training.  Find out what kind of concrete results you can expect at the end of a program.  Results can vary greatly in different training schools.  But after all, it is the results you are paying for.
