Anyone who has taken, at least, a group training class.
Some trainers train dogs. Others train owners. Once you have the basics, hopefully delivered by a trainer who uses positive reinforcement techniques, then it's just a matter of applying them consistently at home. Even if they're the ones training your dog the consistency at home is all on you. Just remember that most dogs want to please us. They'll work for a treat at first but that doesn't last long. Good luck.
