Many dog owners out there still believe in the old myths and old sayings passed down by the previous generations when it comes to training.
What they don’t realize is how dangerous those old beliefs can be. We have come a long way with regards to dog training, and it’s all for the better.
Research and science have shown us just how incredible dogs are, and it is only fitting that we treat them as such.
So, what should modern dog owners look for in a trainer?
Take your time and do your research
A lot of people can’t afford a trainer. That, or can’t find any suitable ones in their area.
The tendency is that they settle for the nearest center, or the first trainer who responds to their message.
But if you’re serious about your dog’s future, be patient and do a lot of digging.
The best dog trainer in Dubai will have top credentials, results that speak for themselves, and a good reputation in the city.
Ask yourself the right questions
Once you start thinking, “I need help from a professional,” your head is immediately filled with questions. How will I know who’s a good trainer? What would I even ask? What if they give up on my dog? What if I don’t like them? What if they suggest something I’m uncomfortable with?
Note them down because the right trainer will answer all those questions, and more.
Not everyone will sit down and try their best to understand your dog. Not all trainers will care enough to ask you many questions to get a full picture of your dog’s current mentality or try to figure out the why of your dog’s quirks.
The best dog trainer in Dubai should seek to work with you to help your dog.
Your core values should be aligned with a dog trainer’s training philosophy. If you raise your dogs with love and kindness, compassion and patience, then the trainer you choose will have to embody those virtues.
Education and experience
Once you find a trainer, inquire about their background. The best dog trainer in Dubai should have years of training, of dedicated study in the field, and the right experience in handling different dog breeds and personalities.
Make good use of the internet. Search forums or groups on social media to check real world reviews of the trainer. Call the school they studied in to confirm credentials if you want to.
Methods and equipment
The best dog trainer in Dubai will employ methods that sets the foundation for you and your dog. Keeping a dog happy and engaged is what you want to see. There should be treats and playtime in between, and of course, treats as a reward.
Toys and even a dedicated safe space to run and expel energy while learning are all beneficial tools for training dogs.
This is why Canine Campus has been the go-to trainer for many dog owners.
We have consistently trained dogs of all ages and breeds, of different temperaments and quirks, all ending with the same happy outcome.
Consistency and communication
We remain committed to our clients all throughout the training. Lines stay open for communication. Raising concerns and asking questions are part of the process and we make sure dog owners are at ease when we are asked to train their dog.
Updates are shared after each session, and we even include tips and advice on how to handle your dog for certain situations.
Even better if you can be present during training sessions!
Final thoughts
You can argue that dog training is an unsupervised industry. Anyone can call themselves a trainer. They’ll print business cards, post on social media, wait for inquires, and start charging money.
The difference between an excellent trainer and a harmful one is never obvious from a website or a Google search.
The positive will tick all the right boxes. Make the time to call and ask questions. We won’t rush you or insist that we immediately take over your dog.
Our promise will always be wagging tails and happy hearts.
