Coverages
At Business Insurers, we understand that no two dog trainers run their business exactly the same, and for that reason we tailor coverage to your individual business needs. The primary coverage that is recommended for all professional trainers is General Liability. However, Workers Compensation, Commercial Property, Commercial Auto and Bonding may be applicable depending on the make up and size of your business.
