The way to choose a dog trainer for your baby dog

By Steve Cote


Puppy training, together with good socialisation is paramount to achieve the result of a nicely-rounded adult dog.

Dog training at present is under regulated if at all, and this gives the result of poorly or even unqualified people being able to claim the position of dog trainer. Sadly as, infrequently desperate, dog lovers we will accept a convincing dog trainer on their lonesome testimony.

Dog obedience training is so sundry that a great police dog trainer may not have the 1st clue of how best to deal with a mulish toy breed. In a similar fashion a guide dog trainer, solely dealing with golden retriever puppy training may not be experienced in the alteration of serious adult dog behaviour issues like aggression or fear based behaviors.

The expert that educates himself in many areas of dog behavior including breed characteristics and embraces the effectiveness of modern reward based strategies is kind of rare. This quality is less frequent than the "one strategy suits all" dog trainer. So when choosing a dog trainer ensure that he first has understanding of your dog breed and secondly will only use modern and positive methods.

When selecting a tutor for your dog, ask if you can attend a training session without your canine. Observe the way in which the trainer interacts with the dogs in the session. Look out for the usage of language or canine training jargon. The good dog trainer will use words like positive, reward and buttress. Less educated trainers may advocate predominance, aversion and punishment (something that seems minor like a pointed pull on a dogs leash is a punishment technique) Check the experience of the coach and ask for testimonials of prior clients. A buddy of mine was once banned from a canine obedience training class by a coach that stated he saved dog was "damaged goods" Trainers with this type of disposition should be steered clear of totally.
