Dog trainers and behaviourists
I am commonly asked by clients for training and behaviour advice. I am not a trainer or behaviourist, but I wanted to be able to help clients identify someone who could help with any training or behaviour concerns they have. Trainers and behaviourists are not regulated, and anyone can buy a certificate online and call themselves a dog trainer, so I wanted to be able to promote ethical trainers and behaviourists who have a real understanding of dogs and who will be kind and compassionate in their methods.
Below is a list of trainers and behaviourists in Northern Ireland who have agreed for me to list their contact details here. These trainers and behaviourists work on a positive reinforcement basis with dogs and do not use aversive training methods.
