*The dog training industry is currently not regulated. When searching for a dog trainer, we recommend asking these questions:

• “What exactly will happen to my dog when she gets it right?”
• “What exactly will happen to her when she gets it wrong?”
• “Are there any less invasive alternatives to what you propose?”

If you don’t get clear, concrete answers, keep shopping.* Reference: The Academy for Dog Trainers, Transparency in Dog Training
