If there is ONE thing that TWO trainers will agree on it's what the THIRD one is doing wrong. This industry is full of differing theories and opinions on how to properly and humanely train our favorite animal. Frankly there are a lot of internet experts giving advice designed to tug on your heartstrings, tickle your fancy and take advantage of the fact that dog training is not your expertise. The best advice we can give you is to ask a lot of questions and even more importantly, take a look at the proof. If you have a problem that needs solved, the trainer who you hire should have proof of successfully solving that problem. With that being said, in the internet age it can be easy to make a dog appear to have been "TRANSFORMED" through short form video content on social media. The real results will reveal themselves straight from the mouth of the dog's owner. Ask for references. Former clients will be able to articulate to you what their dog's behavior and overall attitude was like before and after training, how the trainer treated their dog, as well as what their experience was like working with that trainer.
