You are definitely not alone since many people want to take their dogs to the best training to make sure both the owner and the dog receive the best training. You want to find a company that is committed to helping you train your dog; after all, you cannot send your dog away to "boot camp" and expect him or her to come back a fully trained dog, it simply does not work this way.

Many people assume if they spend a lot of money on the "perfect" breed the dog will somehow be better trained "automatically" than a mixed breed, but this is fallacy because a mixed breed that has been properly trained can in fact, be better behaved than an expensive breed with no training. Therefore, you need to have a chance to tour the dog training company's facility and find out all you can about them. They should offer puppy-training classes, basic obedience, advanced training, and behavior problem solving training.

Having a well-mannered dog does not just happen because you spent a certain amount of money on the breed, it happens by proper training and consistency on the owner's part. You can take your dog to every obedience class in town, but if you do not put into practice, what the trainer taught you, the dog will never learn what it is you want from him or her. Dogs learn by reward and consistency, which is important to remember because when you keep these in mind, you can teach your dog many commands.

Moreover, having a well-mannered dog is vital especially when you have guests over.

Imagine having guests over for dinner and your dog jumps up and grabs food off one of your guest's plate. Obviously, this is bad manners, but if the dog has not been taught basic manners, is it the dog's fault or the owner's?  Many people blame their dog when in fact the blame is really with the owner, because had the dog gone through obedience training and learned proper manners, he or she would never have stolen the food from your guest's plate.

Therefore, choose a dog training company that offers experienced trainers that will not just focus their attention on the dog, but will show you how to continue the training at home after the training classes have ended. Check out some reviews online for pet training companies in your area to see which ones are the highest rated and those that focus on the issues you may currently have with your dog. By taking the time to investigate, you will find a training program that is right for both you and your dog, so that you can have a well-mannered dog.
