# Fetch Compass - data scope and comparison notes

Reviewed August 2026.

## What this directory publishes

Fetch Compass does not publish pricing data, market averages, demand estimates or training outcome statistics. Listings describe individual dog training businesses: location, program formats offered, direct contact details, opening hours, and Google rating and review count. Directory categories reflect business-submitted or public business information, not an assessment of training methods or quality.

## How to compare trainers

1. Confirm the program format you need: puppy, obedience, board and train, behavior and aggression, private and in-home, group classes, service and therapy dog, or off-leash and e-collar.
2. Ask each trainer for their written program description: session count, duration, location (facility, your home, or boarding) and who handles the dog.
3. Ask about certifications and professional memberships, and verify them with the issuing organization.
4. For behavior concerns, ask your veterinarian whether a medical check is appropriate before starting a program.
5. Get terms in writing: scheduling, cancellation and refund policy.
