Dog training can be personally rewarding and financially profitable work, but the work comes with some inherent risks. From property loss to liability lawsuits, dog trainer insurance can protect trainers in Vermont from a range of potential risks.
Dog trainer insurance is specialized commercial insurance for dog trainers. In order to protect trainers against multiple risks, these policies typically are underwritten as package policies that have at least a few coverages in them.
Most Vermont professionals who work as dog trainers should consider carrying dog trainer policies. Not carrying insurance can expose trainers and their businesses to significant risks, and this tends to be the most appropriate type of insurance for dog training professionals.
Professionals who work with dogs in other capacities might have similar coverage needs, but there are frequently slight differences that call for another type of dog-related insurance policy. For instance, dog walkers are usually better served by a dog walker insurance policy than a dog training insurance policy. Other professionals may likewise need policies for their specific services.
Professionals who work with dogs in multiple ways might need one of several different policy types. An insurance agent who specializes in dog training and similar policies can help sort out what policy option would be most suitable in a given situation.
Most of the protections that dog training insurance policies make available are either property or liability coverages. The former generally protect equipment that trainers have, and the latter is normally for situations where a trainer might be held financially liable.
Some of the property coverages that dog trainers might want to look for are:
Some of the liability coverages that trainers might want are:
Trainers who also sit or board dogs might also need care, custody and control coverage. “CCC coverage” normally protects against harm that dogs could sustain while they’re in the care of a trainer.
Our business was with the same trusted agent for over 20 years. Mike Bancroft offered to evaluate our policies and see if he could save us some money on both Workmen's Comp and general liability. He did, and in the process even moved us to better coverage. Mike also offers a superb quality of service. Cannot recommend highly enough.
Mike Bancroft has been great to work with. He has assisted with my Business Auto, Tool Coverage, Homeowners and all other types of insurance needs. I wouldn't be surprised if they change their name to Paige, Campbell & Bancroft soon!
Extremely prompt, personable, and professional service! Despite only needing a workers' comp policy for one employee, Paige & Campbell was very receptive and ensured to shop my policy around to ensure I received a great price that was almost half of what another broker quoted me.
Premiums for dog training policies vary, as they’re based on a number of different factors. A trainer’s location, size of operation, training provided and past claims history are just a few of the factors that can influence cost.
An independent insurance agent can help trainers find out how much the insurance they need will be. Independent agents are free to compare policies from multiple insurers, for they aren’t linked up with any one insurance company. This makes it easy to compare both coverages and costs when comparing policy options.
Premiums paid for dog trainer policies are usually tax-deductible, provided the policy only protects business endeavors. Before writing the premiums off, though, trainers should consult with a qualified tax professional who can review their particular situation.

Mike Bancroft is simply an amazing agent. When my business got burglarized, I was so upset and didn't know what to do. I contacted Mike and he was very prompt in calling me back and he put my mind at ease. He made me feel so much better and handled all of the paperwork immediately. His customer service is top notch and I highly recommend him to be your insurance agent!
