What makes a good Trainer?

Choosing the right trainer is the most important first step you can take for you and your dog's happiness.

New trainers come and go each year.   A good trainer should be able to pass two simple tests:

  1. Does the trainer have a proven track record?

    Many trainers begin with good intentions but they quickly find that just being a dog trainer does not qualify you to be an expert, full-time instructor.

    Castle Hill Dog Training has been in business for over 25 years.  Working with dogs and their owners to have the most rewarding life together is our goal.

  2. Is the Trainer certified?  

    In Connecticut it is not required that you become certified to be a dog trainer.  Anyone can choose a name, print a brochure and call himself a dog trainer.

    Being a certified instructor requires hundreds of hours of classroom schooling, including dog care which is taught, in part, by a veterinarian and deals with vital issues of maintaining a dog's health as well as recognizing early signs of health problems.

    A certified trainer's knowledge of dogs goes far beyond how to hold a leash and make a correction.  Ask to see the trainer's certification certificate.

I'LL BE HAPPY TO SHOW YOU MINE!

In short, do you want to risk your dog's wellbeing and your time and money on a trainer who is untried and minimally qualified?

THE CHOICE IS YOURS!
