Recommended Dog Trainers in Devon
When seeking professional guidance, it’s crucial to ensure that the individuals you trust with your Dogs well being meet high standards of qualifications and ethics. Myself and The Admin on The All Things Dogs in Devon page prioritise these aspects, requesting detailed information from professionals about their credentials and ethical practices to help you make informed decisions. However, it’s important to remember that vetting your own trainers is a necessary step to guarantee the best care for your family. Here are some tips on how to do it
How to Vet your Trainers:
Check Qualifications and Certifications: Look for credentials from reputable organizations. For instance, dog trainers might be certified by the International Association of Canine Professionals (IACP) or the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT). There are many short courses that say they give qualifications but are not reputable sources for qualifications. Ask how long their training took. There initial course should have been at least 18 months and be at level 3. It should have also been tutored.
Ask for References: Don’t hesitate to request references from previous clients. A reliable professional should have no issue providing contact information for satisfied customers who can attest to their methods and results.
Observe a Session: If possible, watch the professional at work. This will give you insight into their training methods, their interaction with animals, and whether their approach aligns with your values and expectations.
Interview the Professional: Prepare a list of questions to understand their philosophy and techniques. Ask about their experience, methods for dealing with specific training issues, and their stance on positive reinforcement.
Trust Your Instincts: Pay attention to how the trainer interacts with you and your dog. Trust your gut feeling—if something doesn’t feel right, it’s okay to keep looking for the right fit.
Review Online Feedback: Look for reviews and testimonials online, but take them with a grain of salt. Multiple consistent reviews can provide a clearer picture than a single glowing or damning testimonial. Dont look at comments that talk about fixing issues. This can then mean that poor techniques have been used that may have stopped behaviours but would have caused mental harm and issues further down the line. Look for how people have been supported.
By taking these steps, you can ensure that you’re choosing the right professional who not only has the proper credentials but also aligns with your expectations and values. Always remember, the welfare and happiness of your pet should be the top priority.

It all begins with an idea.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
