What to Look For in a Good Dog Trainer

While I’m not currently offering dog training services, I know how important it is to find the right support when your dog needs a helping paw.

Whether you’re dealing with pulling on the lead, barking at the door, or simply want to build a stronger bond with your dog, working with the right trainer can make all the difference.

If you’re looking for help, here are a few things to prioritise:

• Reward-based, force-free methods

• Knowledge of body language & behaviour

• Experience with your dog’s specific needs

• Membership of organisations like the IMDT, APDT, or PPG

The right trainer should leave you both feeling calmer, more connected, and confident in your next steps. No fear, no pressure—just progress.
