I started working with animals when I was 16. I...

FAQs for finding pet trainers near you
What are pet trainers?
Pet trainers are professionals who specialize in teaching various skills to animals. These skills can range from obedience training to tricks and behavior modification. Good pet trainers have extensive knowledge in animal behavior and work with owners to help their furry friends learn how to respond appropriately in a variety of situations.
How much does professional pet training usually cost?
The cost of professional pet training varies depending on the complexity of the problem that needs to be addressed and the duration of training sessions required. On average, pet training services nationwide on Care.com cost $15.27 per hour, but this rate can vary significantly due to location and other factors.
What qualifications should I look for when hiring a pet trainer?
When looking to hire a pet trainer, you should look for someone who has professional experience in the field of training animals and who has strong professional recommendations. It’s best to hire a pet trainer who has obtained certification from a legitimate organization or institution that certifies animal trainers. They should also possess knowledge on basic canine behavior and psychology.
What type of results can I expect from professional pet training?
The specific goals set by both the owner and trainer can impact the results of professional pet training. For example, some popular results include improved leash walking, better recall, and impulse control, reduced fearfulness and aggression towards other pets or people. You can work with the pet trainer to set realistic goals for your pet.
What steps can I take to ensure safety when hiring a pet trainer?
To hire a pet trainer safely, it’s important to interview a variety of candidates, to request professional references, and to host an independent background check. While we do ask all pet trainers on Care.com to complete an annual background check (aka a CareCheck) and those who complete it have a badge on their profile indicating the date they completed the background check, it’s important you take additional steps to ensure safety.
