Find a Certified, Professional Dog Trainer in Your Area
Looking for help with your dog’s behaviour? A professional trainer can give you clear guidance and practical support to make everyday life with your dog easier and more enjoyable. The Association of Pet Dog Trainers Ireland helps dog owners find professional trainers across Ireland who work to recognised standards and focus on real-world results.
Why Choose a Professional Trainer?
Get Real Help with Your Dog’s Behaviour
When you work with one of our professional members, you’re not guessing or trying random advice from the internet. You get clear, practical guidance tailored to your dog and your daily life. Whether it’s pulling on the lead, barking, recall, or confidence issues, our trainers focus on solving the behaviour that’s causing you stress and helping you see real, measurable improvement.
Confidence in Competence
Choosing a trainer can feel overwhelming, especially when anyone can call themselves a dog trainer. Members of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers Ireland meet recognised standards and work within a professional code of practice. This means you can feel confident that your dog is being trained in ways that are fair, responsible, and based on how dogs actually learn.
Enjoy Your Dog Again
Good training is about more than commands. It’s about making everyday life calmer and more enjoyable. Our trainers show you how to communicate clearly with your dog, manage challenging situations, and build habits that last. The result is a dog who is easier to live with and an owner who feels supported, capable, and in control.

"Donna is fantastic with dogs. We could see huge improvements with our dog using her training after only a few days. She included the kids in the training and made it fun for them and the dog".Clever Pets Ireland, APDTI #053
"We found Emmaline very helpful and we would highly recommend her to others. We realised straight away that Emmaline was very experienced. She quickly identified several really helpful techniques that we could put into practice right away. The behaviour of our dogs (and ourselves!) improved after one session. Thanks to Emmaline we feel much more confident".Citizen Canine Ireland, APDTI #008
"It has been amazing working with Canine Connect this year. We attended the puppy classes with our dog Ruby and learned so much. The classes were small so we were able to learn so much and get tailored feedback and advice for Ruby whenever we needed. Thanks for all your support!".Canine Connect, APDTI #062
"Cillian is excellent. He is so patient and knowledgeable about what to do, we saw progress after the first session and have the tools now to continue it. Would definitely recommend the training to anyone thinking of doing it, well worth it!".Five Star Dog Training, APDTI #033
