The dog training industry has a vast amount of professionals, but how do you know which ones share the same values as you do? How do you know which trainers are legitimate professionals who are actually knowledgeable about the functions of behavior? 

One way to check your trainer’s legitimacy is to ask what certifications and training they have. Have they taken any exams or been tested by other professionals in the industry? Certifications are an easy way for pet owners to read up on what their trainer should know and practice.
