The following trainers have told us that they are committed to dog-friendly methods. We define dog-friendly methods as reward-based rather than force-based. This style of training is effective because dogs learn to choose the behaviors that humans desire. Dog-friendly trainers do not use shock collars (e-collars), nor do they use coercion, intimidation, or pain. Instead, they teach with a gentle, fair approach so that dogs truly will enjoy learning and form a trusting bond with their owners.

Click here if you are interested in being added to this list. All additions are subject to approval. We at TrulyDogFriendly make every effort to screen trainers for this list, but we cannot make any guarantee. If you feel that any of these trainers has misrepresented him- or herself as dog-friendly, please let us know.
