When searching for a dog trainer, especially for an assistance or service dog, qualifications matter more than ever. Look for trainers who hold APDT membership, use force-free methods, and have demonstrable experience with working dogs.

Always ask for references, attend a taster session before committing, and ensure the trainer understands your dog’s specific role. The best trainers will assess your dog individually rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.

ADR-registered handlers often ask us for trainer recommendations — this directory was built precisely for that reason.
