Tracy is wonderful. I take her "dog and me" exercise class, which not only gives me and my dog a great workout but also has kept my dog focused in his training. When we started class he was already pretty well trained, however, everyone now always tells me he's very well behaved and I think that that has a lot to do with this continued push with Tracy that has made obedience more fun and sustainable for my pup.

For 15 years I have had the pleasure of training dogs in all capacities - for TV/movie sets, service dogs, scent work, therapy dogs and pup lovers such as yourself worldwide. I believe training should be an enjoyable experience for both you and your dog. The more you understand about how your dog thinks and learns, the more effectively you can communicate. Clear communication means successful training and good behavior—with no need for coercion or physical corrections.

I interviewed plenty of trainers in my process to find help with my two dogs. Justin was really cool when we spoke, very informative and invited me out to a puppy play session he was hosting. He kennel trains which i was unsure about initially - but after walking me through his process made me feel more at ease. I didn’t fell rushed to make a decision after the evaluation which was nice because some places are just trying to fill spots. He has outdoor space on the top level above the kennel training, which was nice that dogs spent a great deal in. I went daily for training sessions during the third and fourth week of the board and train program which were super helpful - Justin always accommodated my schedule. He’s a super cool guy, informative, and great with animals. You can tell. Since the board and train program, I always board the dogs here when I travel in which Justin always gives me a refresher course upon pick up and checks in with the dogs training. Surprised and grateful.

I found a Poodle Personal Trainer the same day I created an account. The Trainer was here the very next day! I learned more in that one hour than I did in the 8 hours I spent reading about the behavioral issues involved in proper training. Highly recommend to anyone with a new puppy. Lori is excellent!t

Karen, thanks for showing us how to be the pack leader! Hunter is a more relaxed and happier dog and we are happier and more relaxed humans😀 We saw a difference in his behavior after the first visit. The entire energy in our home has changed and we continue to see improvement in his behavior. Now we are able to enjoy family and friends without constant barking/growling from Hunter. Thanks Karen we will continue to practice the techniques you have taught us.
Forever Grateful!

BBefore Buddy Paws my 2 puppy German Shepards were very uncontrollable and hyper and they would always charge and jump on us. They also had food agression and would eat each other's food. I had to feed them separately or they would end up fighting. And walking them was a nightmare.
After just 14 sessions, amazingly both Shepards are now calm and also obey on command. On just the first session alone there was an amazing transformation. Dog trainer Raul is amazing!!

I have had dogs my whole life and I love all animals and especially working with dogs. The best thing ever is the gratification I feel after I help people and their dogs reach a place where their relationship is where they have dreamed it should be and giving the owner the tools and information they needed to have a great happy dog!
I rescued my dog from the shelter and he was about to be euthanized the next day. I quit all my jobs so I could be with him all day and work with him. I spent a lot of time with him and took him everywhere with me and did a lot of training. He turns out to be the best dog ever. The people in the dog park named him George Clooney of the park. I knew pretty quick I wanted to work with dogs and soon after I started my own business with training other dogs and dog walking and dog sitting.
I go above and beyond to help my clients and their dogs. My sessions are at least an hour and and often I go over time and spend as much time as I feel needed.
I love it so much and get so much gratification in helping people and their dogs reach a great state of mind and relationship that I never even look at the clock. I promise to do everything I can to help you and your dog.
Yes I work wirh clients nation wide and internationally on facetime or skype or zoom.
If clients have concerns remote training is the safest. In between sessions I provide unlimited phone calls for any questions.
Why should I get a Dog Trainer?
Making sure your pup is trained properly really matters. Without the necessary groundwork, you’re risking your dog’s wellness and security, as well as the safety of any other dogs it comes into contact with. It’s also important your dog is trained so that it can integrate properly with you and your family. Keeping it out of trouble will save you a lot of hassle (and potentially costly repairs too).
Making sure your dog listens to commands is very important. Not only will handling it be less stressful, but it can stop dangerous conflict with other animals. Furthermore, if your dog doesn’t want to listen to you, situations such as dealing with traffic can potentially become fatal. On the upside, having a well-trained pup enables you and your pet to socialise properly with other dogs and their owners.
Having a dog that is obedient means that life around the home becomes plain sailing. With good manners, your dog will be able to tell the difference between right and wrong behaviour, while being able to foster good relationships with other members of your family. These connections can help to build a fruitful relationship with your pet as part of the family. Time well spent together will allow you to both grow together, sharing experiences and creating the type of memories that make having a pet so worth it.
How about becoming an authority figure yourself? Although your trainer will help your dog get up to scratch, they will also teach you a great deal about the fundamentals of dog training. This includes not only how to handle your own dog, but principals that you can use to understand and better interact with other dogs too. Being able to help out less-informed dog owners can be a wonderful gift to have, and something that you can take further if you enjoy it.
Having a well-trained dog also means that taking your pet to the veterinarian will be a lot easier than it would be otherwise. Considering the nature and volume of work that they have to do, being a vet is tough, let alone dealing with an uncooperative pet in their surgery. In some cases, dogs can become violent when approached by a vet – definitely something they don’t need. By having your dog properly trained, you can avoid injuries – for both your dog and your vet – as well as unnecessary embarrassment upon visits.
How do I pick a Dog Trainer?
When hiring someone to train your dog, there is plenty to think about. The needs of both you and your pet have to be considered and so taking some time to sit down and work out what is important to you is a must. Down below are a few of the questions you might ask when it comes to finding the right dog trainer –
Should I go for group or private training? Each comes with pros and cons – those with a brand new dog can expect their pet to socialise and start to develop relationships with other dogs.
Does my dog need generalised training or would training in a specific area suit it better? One example of this is if your dog has an issue with barking, or separation anxiety. In these cases, someone that can specialise in tackling these issues would be optimal.
Do I need long-term training or do I need a quick fix? Goals such as conditioning your dog for agility or developing a routine will need more time with a trainer.
You should also take care to see what type of strategies your trainer uses. There are a wide variety of techniques that can be applied in order to change your dog’s behaviour – but not all of these involve kindness and care. It’s good to talk to prospective trainers about the ways in which they choose to teach your dog, including methods of both discipline and praise. Techniques such as positive reinforcement are very beneficial for dogs and are particularly powerful, while being enjoyable for them.
While your dog is your priority, how you communicate with your trainer is important too. Your trainer’s should be able to translate their understanding into constructive advice. A good trainer can tell you both what is working in terms of training your dog, and what isn’t. This includes passing on insights of what to do to correct certain issues, while conveying these ideas in a constructive, friendly way. In order to do this, a trainer needs to not only be able to express themselves clearly, but also be diplomatic and observant.
How much does a Dog Trainer cost?
There are various ways in which you can choose to train your dog. Some owners opt for private lessons, while others will put their dog through group daycare.
Group sessions are valuable not only because they are more budget friendly, but also because they are better as a long-term option. This is because your pet will have time to get to grips with a wider variety of commands. However one-on-one training provides your dog with lessons that are specially tailored to their needs, helping them learn in the best way for them.
There are also the various levels of obedience training to take into account. As well as classes specifically for puppies, there are basic educational classes, adult training, agility and advanced tutoring. Which of these you go for can affect pricing, as well as how quickly your dog learns (depending on its needs and comprehension).
Can I hire a Dog Trainer online?
Yes! You might be surprised to hear that dog training can be done remotely, through online video platforms like Zoom. They can take the form of group sessions or one-to-one classes to tackle certain individual behavioural issues. Many customers prefer online dog training for all sorts of reasons, like saving on travel time and costs.
