Whether you are expecting a baby, inviting grandchildren to your home, or having your children’s friends over for a playdate, having a dog means you want to be prepared for the safety of all involved. Smart families all around North Georgia are looking for dog training provided by industry educated human and animal trainers who are family-friendly and often “kid-focused.” I am that animal trainer in North Georgia!
Most dog trainers claim they know “how” to train a dog. But does the trainer you are considering actually know the “why” of dog behavior? Without specialized education as a Certified Family Dog Mediator, your potential dog trainer candidate does NOT know the “whys” of dog behavior, and that lack of knowledge will affect the long term success of the training your dog receives.
Without the “why” there is no reason to pay full price for dog training when you are only getting half of the information. Look for a Certified or Licensed Family Dog Mediator to get the most for your money.
As a Certified Family Dog Mediator and and your Community Dog Bite Prevention Educator, I work with many different age groups helping them understand how dogs communicate. I help you fill in the gaps and connect the dots to understand what your dog is trying to tell you with their body language and vocalizations. “iSpeakDog” and you can too! As a Certified Family Dog Mediator, I can give you more for your training investment than a trainer who does not have this specialized education!
