This page lists a number of dog trainers throughout the Pembina Valley for resource purposes only. These trainers work independently of the Pembina Valley Humane Society and we do not endorse any particular trainer. We encourage dog owners to research potential trainers to find the best fit for them and their dog(s). Please note that trainers should not promise to “fix” your dog or guarantee any behavioural issues will no longer be a concern. Training is a lifelong commitment that requires consistency and dedication.
Below is a list of questions we recommend asking of any trainer you are considering using:
- What dog training methods do you use?
- May I attend a class/session to observe?
- How long have you been training?
- Do you have references? May I contact them?
- Where did you receive your training?
- Have you received any continuing education to keep your skills up-to-date?
- Do you have experience with my breed of dog?
- How do you deal with my dogs’ particular issue? (mouthing, jumping, dog aggression, etc.)
- Will you provide me with methods to continue training on my own?
- Do you allow for follow-up questions after training sessions are done?
