Dog Trainers
When looking for a trainer we recommend that you interview the trainer and feel comfortable; find one that can communicate with your pet and also you! Our lengthy experience has shown us that positive reinforcement is the only way to educate your pet.
If you need financial assistance with training your pet, KARMA Rescue may be able to help. For more information and to complete KARMA Rescue’s application for training assistance please visit our programs page here.
