What puppy training methods are there? How much does puppy training cost?
Start by researching training methods like positive reinforcement and clicker training to ensure they align with your philosophy, and avoid trainers in California who use punishment-based techniques. Look for certified trainers with credentials from organizations such as APDT or CCPDT, and inquire about their experience with puppies. Check online reviews and seek referrals from friends or your veterinarian. Observe a training session to evaluate the trainer's methods and the training environment, ensuring it is safe and supportive. Discuss their approach to common puppy issues like potty training and socialization, and find out if they offer follow-up support. Choose between group classes for socialization or private sessions for a personalized approach. The trainer should communicate clearly, be empathetic, and adapt their methods to your puppy’s needs. Trust your instincts; you should feel comfortable with the trainer’s approach, and your puppy should respond positively. By selecting a qualified trainer who uses humane methods, you’ll help your puppy become a well-behaved and happy dog.
