Affordable Compassionate Dog Training - North Lauderdale, FL
I'm Avi Kornblum — certified shelter dog specialist and the official in-home dog trainer for four South Florida rescue organizations including UFAR Animal Rescue, POPO Pit Bull Rescue, One Dog at a Time Rescue, and Chesed Dog Rescue.
I specialize in the dogs most trainers won't take on — reactive, anxious, fearful, and newly adopted dogs that have already been through training that didn't work. Every session happens in your home and real-world neighborhood, where the behavior actually occurs. Not a facility. Not a controlled environment. Where your dog actually lives.
No e-collar. No prong collar. No harsh methods. Just calm leadership, clear communication, and real results that last.
Over 85 five-star Google reviews. Free consultation available.
Serving Margate, Fort Lauderdale, Coral Springs, Coconut Creek, Parkland, Boca Raton, Deerfield Beach, Weston, and all of Broward and Palm Beach County.

Recommended Certifications for Dog Trainers
When choosing a dog trainer, professional certifications are a strong indicator of expertise, experience, and commitment to ethical, science-based methods. Widely recognized credentials include the CPDT-KA or CPDT-KSA from the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers, which demonstrate mastery of modern training techniques, canine behavior, and learning theory. The KPA-CTP (Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner) highlights trainers skilled in positive reinforcement and clicker training, while the IAABC Certified Dog Trainer credential, recognized internationally, signals advanced knowledge in behavior modification and problem-solving. Membership or certification through the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT) further reflects ongoing education and adherence to ethical standards. Many trainers also pursue specialty certifications in areas such as aggression management, behavior modification, or puppy development to address specific challenges.
For pet parents, choosing a certified trainer like Avi Kornblum, ensures that your dog’s training is grounded in science, safety, and compassion. Asking about a trainer’s credentials is one of the best ways to make a confident, informed choice.
