What’s in a professional dog trainer’s toolbox? It’s a lot more than just treats. (Although that’s in there – a lot of smelly, high-value bits of food can go a long way!) The most important things that a trainer carries are often less obvious.

🐾 Rewards: This includes the previously mentioned treats, but rewards can be anything the dog likes! Sometimes specific toys are more exciting for a particular dog, or getting to splash in the water or find an interesting smell.
🐾 Safety tools: This may include leashes, seatbelt attachments for car rides, harnesses, and collars!
🐾 Water, a portable dog bowl, p**p bags and hand sanitizer: Meeting your dog’s physical needs are important, even (maybe especially) in the middle of a training session!
🐾 Knowledge and Empathy: You may not be able to see these, but they are some of the most important tools for professional trainers. Dogs aren’t robots, and neither are you!

It’s also vital even for professionals to know when they can handle something with a dog and when they need to bring in a different perspective. The APDT Trainer search at locateatrainer.org is a great place to find a professional trainer to be part of your training toolbox!

It's National Train Your Dog Month, and choosing the right dog trainer is one of the most important things you can do for your four legged family member. Why choose a LIMA trainer? If you Google “dog trainers,” a lot of different “types” will pop up. Force-free. Balanced. Positive Reinforcement. Punishment. Science-based. The list is long, and there’s no common standard. Anyone can call themselves a dog trainer in the US, and anyone can define themselves with whatever term they want – regardless of their training methods!

Because of this, organizations like the APDT have set professional standards for membership using LIMA.

LIMA stands for “Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive.” It’s a standard for professionals that ensures trainers are always starting with positive reinforcement methods with the lowest chance of negative side effects. A LIMA trainer should be focused on effective training that keeps a close eye on the emotional and physical well-being of the dog.

It’s hard to navigate the flood of information on dog training information on social media, and looking for trainers who practice LIMA methods gives you a focusing point for finding trainers who know how to train your dog effectively without harming them.

Use the APDT trainer search at locateatrainer.org to find LIMA trainers, and find out more about the APDT’s position on LIMA here: https://apdt.com/about/about-lima/
