Social Petworking
Social Petworking is run by a dog trainer who is a pitbull parent and understands the challenges of owning a breed that is often perceived as dangerous. The trainer struggled to find a pet sitter or trainer who didn't discriminate based on breed. This experience led them to learn about dog health and training on their own, eventually working in veterinary medicine and focusing on animal behavior. They are now a certified positive reinforcement dog trainer and part of the Karen Pryor Academy family.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
