At SideKick Dog Training, we offer Private Training that is in-person/in-home or remote via Zoom and that starts with an Initial Session; that's a 90-minute session during which we can thoroughly discuss your concerns, your goals, and help you come up with a plan for going forward! We like to make sure our clients leave the Initial Session with a few solid steps to take and start seeing improvement and relief right away. The "next steps" after the Initial Session may be a single or a couple of Follow-Up Session(s) or a Training Program, depending on what will best address your concerns and needs.

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 Jennifer Prill is one way to keep training grounded in science, safety, and compassion. Asking about credentials, and confirming them on the profile, is one of the best ways to make a confident choice.
