Answer: The italicized word ("trained") is a participle.

Explanation: A participle is a non-finite verb form. There are two types of participles: present participles and past participles: While present participles generally function as nouns, past participles usually act as adjectives. In the sentence provided, the italicized word, which is "trained", is a past participle. "Trained" is functioning as an adjective since it is describing and providing additional information about a noun: "dog".

Personal pronoun- A personal pronoun is a brief word we employ as an easy replacement for a person's given name. We can see the grammatical person, gender, number, and case of the noun it replaces using any of the personal pronouns in English. Personal pronouns include I, you, he, she, it, we, they, me, him, her, us, and them.

Personal pronouns are the linguists' stunt doubles; they act in place of the people (and occasionally animals) who are the main characters in our sentences. We can avoid repeating laborious proper nouns all day long thanks to them, allowing us to speak and write more economically.
