LeadQuasar has 365 Dog Training contacts across 28 states. 354 of them (97%) include a phone number, 125 (34%) have an email address, and 88% carry a person's name. This is a small list. It will not cover the country, but it gives you named, reachable trainers, and with a list this size you can afford to treat each one individually.
Be clear about the size
365 records spread over 28 states means most states have only a handful. California is the one state with real depth:
| State | Contacts | With email | With phone |
|---|---|---|---|
| California | 74 | 27 | 73 |
| Arizona | 39 | 7 | 37 |
| Nebraska | 31 | 9 | 31 |
| Illinois | 29 | 14 | 28 |
| Texas | 24 | 10 | 21 |
| Ohio | 21 | 8 | 20 |
North Carolina (17), Minnesota (16), Colorado (13), Florida (13), New York (13) and Oklahoma (11) follow. All 29 Illinois records are in Chicago, so an Illinois search is a Chicago search.
That means two honest uses for this list. If you sell nationally to dog trainers, it is a starting set of about 365 named people to test your message on before you spend money elsewhere. If you sell locally, in California especially, it is a short list you can call through in a week.
Who a dog trainer is, as a buyer
Most dog training businesses are one trainer, sometimes with a partner or a couple of associate trainers. The trainer is the owner, the marketer, the bookkeeper and the person in the field. They run private lessons at clients' homes, group classes in a rented space or a park, board-and-train programs, or some mix.
That tells you a few things:
- They decide alone and quickly. No committee, no procurement.
- Budgets are small. Price matters, and so does a clear return.
- They are rarely at a desk. During sessions the phone goes to voicemail. Early morning, midday gaps and evenings are when they catch up.
88% of records carry a name, so you can address the trainer personally. For a one-person business, that makes a big difference to whether they listen.
What dog trainers buy
- Booking and client software. Scheduling, packages, payments, intake forms and waivers.
- Insurance. Liability and care-custody coverage for trainers working with other people's dogs.
- Marketing. Websites, local search, review management and social content.
- Space. Training facility rental, shared space with a daycare or a pet store.
- Equipment and supplies. Leashes, harnesses, treats, agility gear, often bought wholesale.
- Education. Certification courses, continuing education, specialist workshops.
There is also a partnership angle. Dog trainers refer clients to groomers, vets, daycares, boarding kennels and pet stores, and receive referrals from them. If you run one of those businesses, a trainer is a referral partner as much as a customer.
How to reach them
Phone coverage is 97%, so calling works, but expect voicemail. Leave a short message with your name, the one reason you are calling, and a call-back number. Many trainers return calls at the end of the day.
For the 125 records with an email, a short personal note often works better than a call, because the trainer can read it between sessions. Mention something from their website: 73% of records include one, and trainers usually describe their methods and specialities there, such as puppy classes, reactive dogs or service dog work. Tie your pitch to that. Follow CAN-SPAM and state rules on every send.
