Where can I find a canine professional in my area?
www.dogpro.org
The International Association of Canine Professionals.
We realize that it may take some extra effort to find a canine professional that meets your needs. In order to help you, we offer the following suggestions to start you on your quest to become a Pack Leader:
 |
|
Seek the advice of a trusted veterinarian to rule out any physical or neurological problems and request a referral. |
| |
|
|
When you meet calm-assertive dog owners, aka Pack Leaders, ask them how they achieved calm submission in their well-balanced dogs. |
| |
|
|
Locate and contact veterinarian schools and accredited dog behavior colleges to inquire about behavior specialists, programs, or services offered. |
| |
|
|
Dog trainers and obedience class instructors may be able to provide contact information for other local professionals who practice dog psychology in addition to traditional training methods. |
| |
|
|
Local breeders sometimes work in conjunction with dog trainers and behaviorists to help new owners or people who have the same breed. |
| |
|
|
Contact dog daycare facilities, groomers, walkers, and pet sitters for references. |
| |
|
|
Try an internet search with keywords such as dog psychologist, dog rehabilitation, dog behavior counselor, and dog trainer. |
| |
|
|
Contact your local animal care services, humane society, and rescue groups. |
| |
|
|
Look in the telephone directory (usually in the yellow-colored pages). |
