How to Send My Dog to a Trainer for Potty Training

The training of your dog is a serious subject, and should never be trusted to just any dog trainer. Making your dog house broken is the building block for all other behavioral training, and must be handled by an experienced trainer with your cooperation. Before you trust the care and training of your dog to another person, do your research and due diligence to find a responsible, well-qualified trainer to handle your dog's needs. Base your decision on the trainer's qualifications and recommendations as opposed to price.
