Why A Professional Dog Trainer Is Worth It

Why A Professional Dog Trainer Is Worth It

Is your dog exhibiting behavioral problems? Or, are you having trouble training your puppy?

Maybe it’s time to call in an expert. A professional dog trainer has the expertise needed to deal with even the most stubborn, aggressive, or shy dog!

Are vets dog trainers?

Not exactly. While vets can provide you with useful information on dealing with behavioral problems, their job is largely medical. Dog trainers on the other hand are certified experts who work with all breeds and age groups of dogs to achieve the ideal personality traits.

How do professional trainers work?

Most professional dog trainers use a technique called positive reinforcement therapy. This means they award positive behaviors using several strategies including leash training, house training, and clicker training to communicate acceptable behaviors to your dog.

How are professional dog trainers beneficial?

Professional dog trainers are especially beneficial for persons who have new dogs or puppies. They teach these dogs various commands that can be accepted by everyone in the dog’s family, along with socializing them.

These strategies are more effective than using dog training books or Youtube videos, especially for persons with no prior dog training experience. While you may have the best intentions, the results may be negative and will require correcting.

Professional dog trainers can also be useful for older dogs who develop separation anxiety or suddenly stop following commands.

Worst case scenario, your vet may prescribe behavioral medication, but professional dog trainers are the first line of treatment.
