Pet Logic offers private and group dog training, cat behavior consultations, and bird behavior consultations. As the Owner and Head Trainer, the training equipment used is dependent upon the needs of your animal, ensuring that no equipment causes pain, fear, or intimidation.

Pet Logic follows a force-free philosophy, considering the use of pain, fear, and intimidation as unprofessional, unethical, and unnecessary. Our service areas include Northern Seattle, Mountlake Terrace, Shoreline, Edmonds, Lake Forest Park, Lynnwood, Mill Creek, Brier, and the surrounding areas.

Formed by animal care professionals, Pet Logic aims to promote a positive, force-free, and scientifically based approach to training companion animals and the people who care for them. The mission of Pet Logic is to 'Strengthen the human/animal bond through education and training.'

Training is focused on communication and relationship building, teaching animals how to live with humans and fostering a strong bond. Modern animal training has moved away from punishment-based practices and dominance theory, recognizing that these outdated methods often lead to aggression, confusion, and learning impairment.

Training with Pet Logic is intended to be a positive and enjoyable experience for everyone involved. Through the use of training methods free from pain, fear, or intimidation, the aim is not only to address behavioral issues but also to strengthen the relationship between companions and their animals.

The training provided by Pet Logic encompasses more than just tricks and obedience. It includes prevention, socialization, husbandry, and understanding, aiming to help clients truly connect with the animals they share their lives with.

We've got the answers for your questions

Who are the dog trainers listed on this page?

We have created a directory of licensed dog trainers specializing in positive reinforcement methods. These trainers are not affiliated with Dogo, and all information is gathered from publicly available sources. Each profile provides a brief overview of the trainer's experience and expertise.

How can I select the right trainer for my dog?

Start by evaluating your dog's needs and identifying your training objectives. Each trainer's profile provides insights into their areas of expertise. Match these with your dog's character and your goals to find the ideal fit.

How do I ensure these trainers are competent?

All trainers listed here are certified professionals with extensive knowledge of positive reinforcement techniques.

Why is positive reinforcement emphasized, and what is it?

Positive reinforcement centers on rewarding preferred behaviors, ensuring a pleasant learning journey for your dog. This humane approach is scientifically proven to be the most effective long-term training method, strengthening the bond between you and your pet. By consistently rewarding good behavior, your dog learns to associate actions with positive outcomes, leading to lasting improvements and a happier companion.

Are these trainers equipped to address specific behavioral problems?

Yes, they are. Our trainers are adept in basic obedience or intricate behavioral challenges. Browse their profiles to identify a trainer who specializes in the particular issues you wish to address.

How do I initiate a training program with a trainer?

Simply click on the preferred trainer's profile to access their contact details. From there, you can get in touch to discuss your requirements and set up training appointments.

How do group sessions differ from private ones?

Group sessions offer a communal setting where your dog learns general obedience alongside other dogs. In contrast, private sessions grant focused attention, making them perfect for targeted behavior modifications or individualized training agendas.

Which training techniques do these trainers abstain from?

All our trainers are committed to positive reinforcement techniques and steer clear of any harsh or punitive methods. Their primary goal is to make training a joyous journey for you and your dog.

When can I expect to see results using positive reinforcement training?

Results depend on factors like your dog's nature, the specific behaviors in question, and your training consistency. While many clients observe improvements in just a few sessions, it's crucial to be patient and persistent.

Can I attend a training session to observe before committing?

Reach out to the trainer you're interested in to discuss possibly attending a session. It's a great way to get a feel for their approach and see if it aligns with your expectations.
