When you start checking around for someone to help you train your dog, make sure they are qualified for the job. Ask questions like, how many years of training has the trainer had? How many dogs has the trainer qualified for AKC Canine Good Citizens Awards? What kind of Volunteer Work does the trainer do with their dogs? Does the Trainer have any Certified Therapy Dogs? Has the trainer worked in AKC dog training classes, for how many years? 

Only ask a qualified trainer to train your dog. Anyone can take your money. We want to help you train your dog the right way.
