FAQs for finding pet trainers near you in Arlington, VA

Pet trainer costs can vary greatly due to the fact that all pet trainers have different levels of experience and expertise. The types of pet training services you require, where you live, and how many pets require training can also impact cost. With all of that in mind, the average hourly rate near you in Arlington, VA is $16.45.

Pet trainers near you in Arlington, VA offer many different services that can help you and your pet cohabitate better. Pet trainers can help teach commands such as sit, stay and come. They can also work towards eliminating problem behaviors such as jumping on people or barking and chewing. Pet trainers can even teach dogs how to stay calm in stressful environments. You can interview a few different pet trainers to see if they offer the services you’re looking for.

To find the best pet trainer near you in Arlington, VA, let Care.com help you kick off your search. Your furry family members deserve the best care. You can review many different pet trainer profiles on Care.com, can sort by rate and location, and can read reviews from former and current clients who know firsthand what the pet trainer is like to work with.

When interviewing a pet trainer near you in Arlington, VA, it is important to ask the right questions to get an understanding of their training approach and philosophy. You can ask the pet trainer to discuss their qualifications (including any certifications they may have) and can ask what type of training methods they utilize, such as clicker training or positive reinforcement. You can also inquire about the size of sessions and if group classes are available and what safety measures they have in place during pet training sessions.

To safely hire a pet trainer near you in Arlington, VA, you can start your search by looking for pet trainers who have a badge on their Care.com profile that indicates they completed an annual background check called a CareCheck. However, this is just a jumping off point and we strongly urge you to do your own research to ensure safety. After narrowing down your list of potential pet trainers, you can contact each one to discuss their experience, fees and policies so you can determine which one is the best fit for you and your pet. It’s also a good idea to make sure that the person or business you're hiring is licensed and insured.
