Dog Training Certification

So you want to be a dog trainer!?  Training dogs is a tremendously rewarding career choice.  Due to many popular TV Shows like “The Dog Whisperer” and “Its Me or The Dog” there has been a big movement toward being better to our pets and more importantly dog training.  Now is the time to become a dog trainer as more and more people want to have a well trained and well maintained dog.  If you want to be your own boss, have a mobile job, have little bit different days, and have fun then you have come to the right place.

Council of Professional Dog Tainers

First I suggest you get familiar with the different the (APDT) Association of PET DOG Trainers, and (CCPDT) The certification council of Professional Dog Trainers.  “The CCPDT’s certification program is the first national certification for dog trainers.(CCPDT)”.“APDT, is a professional organization of individual trainers who are committed to becoming better trainers through education. (APDT)” These organizations will have the information you will need as you move toward becoming certified. Both will be invaluable resources as you move toward your certification.

Canine Obedience Certification Resources

There are tons of canine obedience instructor training schools.  Because I believe that dog training certification requires hands on training I will not promote any online schools.  Instead I have found two websites that I think will be great online resources to help you become a great dog trainer.

The first resource is the DogTrainerClub.com.  This is a member based website where you will learn the step-by-step dog training business and marketing techniques... and the industry tips and time-tested short cuts to run a profitable dog training company. 

“This site is the culmination of years of trial and error in the dog business and contains a wealth of experience passed along by many professional dog trainers from both America and overseas.” DogTrainerClub.Com
