Join certified dog trainers Cassi Bee of Philly Unleashed and Elizabeth Silverstein of Telltail Dog Training to discuss how Cassi became a dog trainer, how she developed her website, https://www.diydoggo.com/, and some tips on selecting a trainer and training methods.
Cassi wanted to add:
Buzzwords imply ideologies (balanced, force free) but certifications indicate clearly the type of training and/or testing someone has completed to gain the certification (cpdt, fear free). That said, non-certified trainers can sometimes be better fit for folks than certified trainers based on their ideology, certification, and experience. Always do your research and ask questions and remember, you are your dog’s advocate.
