What Does It Mean To Be A Dog Trainer In Los Angeles?

Well, lets go through a few of the main topics... First off, being a dog trainer in Los Angeles means you will have to be able to prove that you are better than all the rest, and believe me, there are a lot of dog trainers in Los Angeles! The good thing for us is, most of the dog trainers are not very good. Most dog trainers in Los Angeles take the 'All Love And Praise' marketing hook and run with it, leaving most of their clients unhappy, unsatisfied, feeling cheated, confused, and often disheartened (and sometimes pissed off that they have spent thousands of dollars with a bad dog trainer and their dog still won't listen to them).

Secondly,  being a dog trainer in Los Angeles means you will have to be able to work with famous and very wealthy people with seriously busy lifestyles. You will have to be able to work with their P.A.s (Personal Assistants). You will have to be able to put pressure on them to achieve the results you were hired to achieve, regardless of who they are. Many dog trainers in Los Angeles do not have the skill or ability and confidence to tell people, "Do this or fail, it is your fault, not mine".

Finally, being a dog trainer in Los Angeles means that you will have to make a decision of who you really are as a trainer, stick to it, stand by it, teach it, own it, and be true to it. Too many trainers in Los Angeles sell out and jerk at people's heart strings just to make a buck. These dog trainers will tell you whatever you want to hear to land another training package. Meanwhile, you are left scratching your head because you have spent thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours and your dog still just doesn't seem to get it.

What About Those Celebrity Dog Training Clients?

Yea, what about those famous clients? The reality is, in Los Angeles, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and Bel Air, there are famous people seeking dog training. However, at K-9 Behavior Services, it doesn't matter who you are, we charge and treat everybody the same. Sometimes, famous people can afford more training. In such cases, of course they will get more of our time, they have paid for it. Many dog trainers have the celebrity client claim to fame. So what, why does that make them better dog trainers... It doesn't. We have many celebrity clients, that does not make us better dog trainers. Our dog training programs are designed a specific way for a specific reason. You must follow the program to be successful. It doesn't matter who you are, you have to follow the program.

What About All Of The Certifications Los Angeles Dog Trainers Claim?

There are a lot of companies out there popping up to offer dog trainer certifications. Unfortunately, many of these dog trainer certifications hold little value, and even less applicable knowledge. Some of these companies are just looking to make a buck. It is more important to look at what a dog trainer in Los Angeles has actually accomplished. Look at all the areas of dog training the trainer is actively training or competing. For example, you would not want to work with a Los Angeles dog trainer to help you with your dog's aggression problem if the dog trainer specialized in agility. And, ask the trainer for references, more than one or two, of current clients and past clients. These days, it's easy to put up a flashy website. Lets see the trainer put up some real references from people, and let his work do the talking for him.

Los Angeles Dog Training-

Being a quality dog trainer in Los Angeles requires character, integrity, and a lot of dog training experience. It is important for a dog trainer in Los Angeles to not be swayed by the fads and trends that influence dog training negatively. Much of the recent 'All Love and Praise Only' dog training movements are used because it enables unqualified dog trainers, that lack in real life hands on experience, to claim to be better than what they are and to charge more money, primarily by claiming it takes months and months to see results and they need more time and more time, which for you means more money and more money.
