Do I Absolutely Need a Dog Trainer?

By Dirk Gruenberg


Great puppies can turn into fantastic dogs, if proper attention is given right from the beginning. A professional dog trainer would be a wise investment even if the master has time to devote to his pet.

If your dog seems suitable for dog shows, getting help from a professional dog trainer will be even more important. For shows your dog will need to be extremely well behaved, and your trainer could help you achieve that much faster.

The price of a professional is relatively cheap compared to the hours and hours of frustration if training is not the master's forte.

There is no set time period that it will take you to train your dog, because every dog is different, every dog is an individual. If you hire a dog trainer, they might want to come to your house to get a sense of the pet's life before they start training him.

Both, the time it takes to train the dog and the decision to see the house where the dog lives, depend on the behavioral issue that the dog displays. Seeing the house might be helpful for the trainer when deciding how to go about teaching the dog.

Along the same lines, depending on the issue, the dog trainer might opt for training the dog at his home rather than elsewhere. Or they might also choose to train them at their dog school, where there are many more dogs around.

This option, of course, is much less expensive than having the trainer come to one's house. Even though, of course, dog trainers will excel at helping people at home.

Your trainer will know how to treat your dog, and will do so patiently and kindly, which will make the training a lot of fun for your dog. It will also be a great bonding experience for you and your dog.

And once all commands are in place, ownership of a well trained animal is quite an accomplishment and pure joy.
