Right Trainer for your Dog.

Training a pet dog is a must, because in today’s busy and unforgiving world one is always surrounded by people who would not let the pet owner or the pet live in peace.

Training a dog should be a part of one’s daily routine, it help keeps oneself challenged to achieve the goal by experimenting with different ways & keeps their dog psychologically challenged which is the most tiring & healthy exercise of all. To achieve your goal with the dog, it will be great to have a knowledgeable trainer who guides you through the exercise. And to find one such trainer is the most important decision that you have to make, for the baby you see in your dog.

A trainer should have the following qualities before you take his on board;

• The trainer should be knowledgeable about the breed of your dog & should educate you with the traits of the respective breed;
• The trainer should be calm, not hurried at all & should always try to instill that quality in you;
• The trainer should be educated to use different methods depending upon your dogs instincts because each dog can be very different;
• The trainer should be ready to give you a free counseling to understand your desired goals & ability of the dog before being hired (try spend an hour with the trainer & you will have your answer);
• The trainer has to help you to help the dog for best results, they should have the ability to bring everyone on the same page;
• The trainer should insist on a family member to accompany them on the sessions (right from the 1st session) & remember he will be training you as well as your dog. Notice, if the trainer is enjoying working with the dog & if your dog is enjoying the trainer;
• Always insist on using a normal collar during training sessions (unless the training is for special needs), a trainer will be happy to work the dog with any collar if they understand the dog;
• If the trainer does group training, always visit one such training session & notice if each student is getting individual & group help;
• Boarding & training is only required for special needs of an owner from the dog, like - therapy dog, guard dog, service dog etc. The trainer should be educated enough to suggest to you if your dog has the instincts to achieve the desired goal. Feel free to ask & attend a session of an ongoing training program, also check the boarding area to be used for your dog;
• The trainer must come from a recommendation of your vet, family or friend (a pet owner) or a owner of a well behaved dog you see on the walk, never hesitate to ask about their trainer. A trainer should be ready to give you 3different references with who you can check the results before hiring;
• Never hesitate to ask questions from the trainer, it might not be relevant questions, but remember when a child starts to learn about new things, they are always very inquisitive.

No trainer will ever guarantee that the dog will behave at their best for the rest of their lives, but what they should assure you of is; if you are Consistent with the methods & be the Leader that the dog seeks out of you, nothing will stop your dog from pleasing you every single time. Also, by having you during the sessions there will be a major gap filled... the current owners are trying to fill right now, which is… “the dog works very well around the trainer, but not around us”. Remember, the dogs have to live their life with you, so it is you who need to understand & work with his instincts with the help of an expert, who is a trainer.

Lastly, a basic training program should start at 3months for the puppy & take maximum 2months on the outside. A special training program which should start for the puppy at the age of 2months & can go on for up to 6months puppy age for the best results. For special training a right pup has to be picked up from the litter to suit desired needs, without knowing the instincts of the puppy which will only show in the litter at that age. One might not find success very easily & be ripped further of the hard earned money.

We at "C. S" are dedicated to make the companionship between the human & his animal to be perfect, but we do come across many cases where the human has been taken on a ride by another human and the one suffering in the process is the animal, which is & will always be a humans best friend.
