Please use care in selecting a training method and a certified professional to guide you as you raise your puppy or address behavior issues in your dog. Dog training is an unregulated, unlicensed field. Look for verifiable credentials based on current education and high standards that do not rely on tools and practices that may create fearful or repressed behavior in your dog. Ask direct questions about the methods being used by any trainer you contact.
