Specialties
Every dog is different, and so are our solutions. Trainer on Retainer provides personalized dog training tailored to you and your dog's individual needs. Our trainers specialize in reactive dogs, including leash and barrier reactivity, as well as dog socialization, basic obedience, behavior modification, and everyday manners. We offer flexible in-person training throughout the Atlanta area as well as one-on-one virtual dog training available nationwide. Our virtual training program allows you to work with an experienced trainer from the convenience of your own home, often at a lower cost than in-person training. Our science-based, hands-on approach empowers you to communicate more effectively with your dog and build lasting results. Whether you're working through reactivity, obedience, socialization, or another behavior challenge, we'll develop a training plan that works for you and your dog.
History
Established in 2024.
Trainer on Retainer was founded by head trainer Zsolt Menesi, who has more than 30 years of experience training and handling dogs, including some of the most challenging behaviors. After decades of working with dog owners throughout the Atlanta area and helping clients through virtual training, Zsolt developed Trainer on Retainer as a more personalized and flexible way to provide professional guidance and ongoing support. Our approach is simple: we train you to be your dog’s best trainer, giving you the knowledge, skills, and practical tools to understand your dog, address behavior challenges, and build a stronger relationship.

Hello and welcome to Trainer on Retainer! We believe the most effective training happens when you understand your dog and learn how to communicate with them effectively. That’s why our trainers work alongside you, rather than simply training your dog for you. Every training plan is tailored to your dog, your goals, and your everyday life, with practical guidance you can use long after each session ends. Our goal is to train you to be your dog’s best trainer, so you can feel confident handling behavior challenges and continue building on your progress at home and in the real world. Whether you work with us in person or virtually, we’re here to give you the knowledge, skills, and support to succeed with your dog.
