skycat 6,173 Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Definitely: but how does the newcomer to dogs actually know when someone has that animal sense or if they are just spouting crap? The only way you can go is by reputation: if people whose opinions you respect speak highly of a trainer, then they are bound to be good, but it's hard for the newbie who doesn't know the wheat from the chaff. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would imagine the majority of folk who go to dog trainers are looking for the off the shelf, fast food fix for their animal.....IMHO any trainer worth their money would need a good amount of time to get to know an animal correctly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
