Robin's K9 Lifestyle - Waldo, FL

Member since Apr 2020

I'm Robin Myers, and I've been dedicated to training dogs professionally since 2012. Over the years, I've delved into various training methodologies, mastering Advanced Obedience, Tricks, Service Dog Task Training, Puppy Raising, and Potty & Crate Training. Additionally, I specialize in Bite & Tug exercises, fostering drive and refining dogmanship, along with comprehensive Socialization programs for all sizes, breeds, and behaviors.

My passion extends beyond training; I've also mentored fellow trainers and professionals, both locally and nationally. My experience spans across different facets of the dog industry, from roles at PetSmart, Alachua County Animal Shelter, rescues, to veterinary hospitals. For a significant period, I honed my expertise within another dog training company until achieving certification as a Dog & Animal Trainer. It was then that I took the leap to establish my own company.

Continuing education remains integral to my approach. I've actively participated in workshops hosted by some of the most esteemed dog trainers globally, ensuring that my methods stay innovative and effective.

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 Robin Myers, 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.

🦔 How Booking Dog Training in Waldo, FL on PetWorks Works


Finding the right dog trainer starts with trust and fit. On PetWorks, you can explore Robin’s profile, read real feedback from pet parents across Alachua County, and either initiate a booking offer by clicking the "Book Now" button, or start with a conversation by clicking 'Get Custom Quote' or 'Send Message'.


Training works best when you begin at the right time. For puppies and newly adopted dogs, early training builds strong habits from the start.

In Waldo and throughout Florida, demand for experienced, force-free dog trainers can increase during the spring and early fall, when routines shift and outdoor activity picks up. Booking a bit in advance can help you secure the schedule that works best for you.


Most dog training sessions across the U.S. typically range from $75–$150 per hour, depending on experience, location, and training type. On PetWorks, you can review available services and choose the option that aligns with your goals.


All payments are processed securely through PetWorks. Every booking also includes PetWorks Care Coverage, giving you access to a dedicated concierge team, added protection, and support throughout your experience. Once you connect, you’ll coordinate scheduling, location, and training goals directly with Robin to get the most out of your sessions.


Dog Training FAQs


How many dog training sessions will I need? Every dog is different, but many pet parents begin to see progress within 2–4 sessions. More complex behavior issues like reactivity or anxiety may require ongoing training and consistency at home.
