Endorsements

At Save-A-Dog, our mission doesn't end the moment a dog is adopted; it ends when that dog is happy, settled, and thriving in their forever home. The transition from a shelter or foster home to a new family can be a vulnerable time, and having the right professional support is often the difference between a successful adoption and a dog being returned.

That is why we recommend Leap trainers to our adopters and foster families.

Why we choose Leap:

• Vetted Professionals: We know our clients aren’t just getting a "dog trainer"—they are getting a credentialed professional who has been vetted for their education and comittment to non-aversive training techniques.

• Safety and Kindness: Many rescue dogs come from backgrounds of trauma or neglect. Leap’s commitment to force-free, evidence-based methods ensures that our dogs are never subjected to fear, pain, or intimidation during the learning process.

• Clarity in a Confusing Industry: The dog training industry is currently unregulated, which can make finding help overwhelming for new owners. Leap removes the guesswork by providing a transparent directory of trainers who adhere to the highest ethical standards.

• Behavioral Longevity: By using positive reinforcement, our adopters build a bond based on trust rather than "dominance." This creates more resilient dogs and more confident owners.

We are proud to partner with a platform that shares our values. If you are looking to start your new pup off on the right paw, or if you need help with a specific behavior challenge, please visit www.chooseleap.org to find a qualified trainer near you.
