Dealing with a rambunctious pet isn't always easy, which is why K-9 Communication in Milford, CT, is here to help. Owner and registered master dog trainer Constantine "Gus" Marnel has been helping residents deal with disobedient dogs for more than 50 years, and he has developed a reputation as one of the best.

K-9 Communication knows there are a lot of obedience training schools out there, so let's take a closer look at the characteristics of a great dog trainer:

  • People Skills: If a dog trainer lacks people skills, they will also likely lack the qualities necessary to be a great dog trainer. Dog trainers should be just as attentive to your questions and concerns as they are to your dog. Additionally, an invested dog trainer will take the time to make sure you understand all of what they're doing with your pet, and why they're doing it.
  • dog trainerClient References: Even if a potential trainer looks like they fit the part, never take their word for it. Most reliable dog trainers will be excited for you to speak to their clients or people who have worked with them in the past. If not, take this as a red flag. Ask for a list of clients who'd be willing to speak with you and also try to find a few past clients of your own to contact.
  • Behavioral History: A good dog trainer will want to know as much as he can about your pet's previous history — its diet, problems, strengths, and weaknesses. All of these things will give them a good idea of what training techniques will be best for your pooch.
