 Given up on trying to find the right trainer? Don't lose hope! This article will help revive you. Dog trainers, behavior consultants, vet behaviorists, oh my! When your puppy needs training or your dog has developed a behavior issue, it can be confusing to know which kind of dog trainer you should contact. To complicate matters, dog training is currently an unregulated field, meaning that anyone can call him or herself a trainer or behavior expert of some sort with no substance to back it up.

Let's break down the different kinds of trainers and behavior specialists, so you can find the right professional for your needs.
