A dog training class is something more people should attend! Dog owners that is, because training classes will bring them closer to their dogs and teaches them how to teach their dogs - even after the classes are over.
However, not all dog training classes are created equally and the first thing you need to learn is how to find the best for you and your dog:
Ask someone you trust - A great place to start your search for a dog training class is to talk to your dog's veterinarian or friends and family who have dogs and have taken them to a training class.
Check the internet - search for reviews of dog training classes
Attend a class - If you find a training class you are interested in, ask to attend a class before deciding to enroll.
Each dog and owner has different requirements, which might affect which training class you choose:
Would you prefer an individual trainer or a school? - A trainer may be able to give you more one-to-one attention, but a school might have better facilities
How old is your dog? - Puppies have different training requirements than older dogs
Does your dog have obedience or behavioural problem? - The right trainer will be able to address specific problems and your dog's overall training needs.
