Absolute K-9 Training: We'll Train a Dog That You Can Live With.

Top questions to ask before choosing a Professional Dog Trainer.

1. Has the trainer received any formal education or certification in professional dog Training?
A professional trainer should have certification in the dog-training field.

2. How long have you been here in San Diego running this business?
Is this a new career for your trainer, will the trainer be around long enough to help you in the long haul?

3. If considering In Kennel Training is their facility Licensed?
It is illegal to operate a Dog Training/Boarding Kennel without a license. If a facility is not licensed your dog could be impounded by animal control. Your dog could be kept at an unsafe and unregulated facility. There are tons of horror stories of this here in San Diego over the years. Make sure you ask for proof of licensing and take a tour of their facility. Home based dog training companies are not legal in San Diego.

4. What Accomplishments has the trainer personally achieved?
If you are going to pay a professional at a professional rate, make sure you are truly getting an expert. A professional Trainer should have many titles obtained in many different fields of competitive dog training.

5. Does the trainer immediately want to use an Electric Collar?
This is a quick fix, improper use of equipment and clearly unprofessional.

6. Costs of fees should only be comparable when levels of experience are comparable.
You should only expect to pay a professional trainer reasonable rates. Not a hobbyist with a lack of education and experience.

7. Do you have Insurance Coverage in case of an accident as well as Workers Compensation coverage for your staff?
Make sure you and your pet are going to be protected.

8. Why did you decide to become a Professional Dog Trainer?
The answer to question should be very important to you. The trainer you are working with should have a love and passion for dogs. Not because they thought training was a good way to make a living.

We at Absolute K9 Training have developed our in kennel training to fit your needs. These days people are so busy that they have no time for the new puppy they just got that seems to be chewing everything. Rightly so, dogs have changed and so have people. Absolute K9 will come to your home and bring your canine companion to their home. Rover will stay at camp for a few weeks learning obedience on and off a leash, house manners in a realistic home environment and getting to interact with other dogs in for training. Your dog will also be taken out into the public where he or she can learn to behave around heavy distraction.

Once your dog is trained, Absolute K9 Training comes back to your home and trains you (the tough part). They keep coming back until the dog works well for you. Once your dog is behaving in your home you can attend a weekly class for the rest of the dog's life to maintain the training. This is the only kind of training that can be guaranteed, they know when the dog comes home, it is trained.
