Choosing A Trainer
Like any job or career, there are many different types of people who train dogs. Choosing the right dog trainer is vitally important, no matter what type or level of training you want to do with your dog.
You should generally begin with basic dog obedience and good manners (many folks only want this, which is fine!), then you may want to work toward earning show titles in obedience, agility, tricks, or Therapy Dog or Service Dog certification…the list goes on and on!
