Because your dog stays with the trainer, you only make the trip at drop-off and pick-up — so a two-hour drive to a trainer who specializes in your dog's specific problem usually beats a nearby generalist. The main reason to stay local is the follow-up lessons, which are easier to attend if the trainer is close.
