Customer Reviews
Trish is absolutely wonderful. I have gone through her dog obedience training, private lessons, and consultation. She is very knowledgeable and offers great behavioral training. Thank you Trish!!
- Natalia MTrish from Doggy Detail Dog Training is an exceptional trainer who has left a lasting impression on both us and our furry companion. The journey began with the basic manners class, where Trish's patience, direct approach, and empowering teaching style resonated with everyone involved. Nala, our beloved dog, benefited greatly from Trish's guidance, and the bond between us and our Nala grew stronger with each session. Transitioning to the B class was a natural progression, and the experience exceeded expectations. Working in an outdoor environment, the focus shifted to advanced skills such as proper socialization, enhanced recall, and overall manners. Trish's ability to create a comfortable and confident atmosphere around other dogs and people was truly commendable, making the learning process enjoyable for all. The enthusiasm and anticipation to continue training with Trish is a testament to her expertise and the positive impact she has had on the us and Nala. Trish is dedicated and talented professional whose passion for dogs and commitment to their well-being shines through in every session. I highly recommend Trish to anyone looking to enhance their dog's training experience and strengthen their bond with their four-legged family member.

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 Trish Iriye, 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.
