A Review of Secrets to Dog Training



Recommended Answer:
Too much.

If you are in real need of a private trainer, it would be best to contact a reputable trainer that's had more than a day of education.

Dog Training Tip - Leash-Collar Training


  • Petco training is only for dogs who need very basic training with no issues. Most of their trainers are not especially experienced or well trained. If your dog has issues you need a professional trainer. I suggest you call one of these trainers

    The National Association of Dog Obedience Instructors
    http://www.nadoi.org/
    The Association of Pet Dog Trainers
    http://www.apdt.com/
    International Association of Canine Professionals

  • I don't think that PetCo offers private lessons. You would be better off going through a good trainer. Since you have a PetCo in your area, you most likely have some private trainers in your area that can meet your needs better then PetCo. Marci gave you some good websites to find some qualified trainers in your area. Other people to ask include your vet, boarding kennel, groomer, or kennel club for a good trainer.

  • Hey rebecca I understand the problem you've gone through when trying Secrets of Dog Training, My friend is in the same situation as you, and nothing worked for him unit he came across the Dog Training solution program, he's been having great success with it ;
    maybe this something which could be right for you

    Well good luck.

  • To add on to Marci's list:
    International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants
    http://iaabc.org/
    Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers
    http://www.ccpdt.org/
    Karen Pryor Academy has a list of vetted trainers too

    Why are you looking for private vs group? I have seen privates go for $75 to $300 a session depending on the level of credentials and reputation the person has.

  • Hey
    You should give your dog some love
    I made some research for you and I found that you need professionals help
