How we ranked them

• Breadth of programs. Can one trainer take you from an eight-week puppy through a serious behavior problem?
• Behavior work. Whether they publicly take on reactive and aggressive dogs, which many trainers decline.
• Flexible formats. Group classes, private lessons, day training, and board and train all suit different households.
• Local footprint. Trainers actually based in or serving the Huntsville and Madison County area.
• Transparency. Clear public information about who trains your dog and how.

We do not publish star ratings or prices we cannot verify. Everything above comes from each business's own website — follow the links and check for yourself.
