When you send a request, it is reviewed and you are referred to a professional trainer based on your dog's needs and your area. We look for trainers who work one on one, teach every lesson themselves and train in real places like homes, sidewalks and parks. Our network of professional trainers has 230+ 5 star Google reviews combined.
Our view is simple: one experienced trainer who knows your dog beats a big program built on rotating staff. That is why we send owners to individual professionals, and why every referral on this site is one on one and in person.
Here is what we weigh before sending an owner to a trainer: an independent practice instead of a franchise, humane handling of every dog, certification or formal education that fits the kind of training offered, a track record in Google reviews, and a habit of checking in with clients after the work is done.
If a trainer boards dogs, we also want to know where the dogs stay, what the written safety plan looks like and whether the trainer carries insurance. Florida does not license dog trainers, so we treat these standards as the minimum, and we encourage you to ask every trainer the same questions.
This guide is operated by K9PN (k9pn.com). It is a free referral service, and you never pay to submit a request.
Trainers are independent and set their own prices, schedules and methods. You are never required to hire the trainer you are referred to, and nothing here is a guarantee of results.
Final pricing is set by the trainer after they learn about your dog. Read the Disclaimer and the Referral Marketing Disclosure, or browse every program.
