Trainers In SGRR Territory
SGRR is not affiliated with any trainers, although we do encourage our adopters to look for positive reinforcement dog trainers. The Pet Professional Guild list some positive reinforcement trainers who have a membership to their association.
We encourage you to do your own research to make sure the trainer you employ is compatible with your views. Below is a list of trainers that some SGRR adopters have worked with successfully.
