We’re Not in Sabattus Yet: But We’re Coming!

Ask about their methods, their experience with your pet's age and issue, whether sessions are private or in a group, and what you will practise at home. Ask to watch a class if you can.

Rules differ by state and city, and some trainers hold private certifications. Ask what they hold and whether any licence or permit applies in your state.

Trainers offer different things, such as basic manners, puppy classes or help with a behaviour problem. Tell the trainer what you want to change and ask how they would approach it.

Tell the trainer before booking. Ask if they work with this, how they keep people and animals safe and what they recommend. For a possible medical cause, talk to your vet.

Terms differ. Ask whether you buy a package or pay per session, what the cancellation rules are, and what happens to unused sessions.

Only customers who contacted a pro through Pros Around can review them, using a link that works once. Pros can reply but cannot delete a review, and reviews are never sold. An admin hides a review only if it breaks our rules, and the reason is recorded.

By the plan a pro has chosen, then a Featured badge, then review quality. A higher plan can place a pro higher; between pros on the same plan, reviews decide. Anything paid for is labelled.
