How To Learn yourself as a Dog Trainer
Step 1: Get educatedDog training is based on the science of animal behavior, so look for schools whose curricula are scientifically sound. For more information, see our Resources or email reply@k9training.org.
Courses come in all varieties: online learning, in-person workshops, apprenticeships, etc. In addition to the learning experience you prefer, take cost, location, and length into consideration.
Step 2: Get experienced Once you successfully complete your course (or courses; many trainers attend several), it’s time to gain hands-on experience. Again, even if you’re a veteran hand at training your own dogs, you need experience training other people’s dogs—and teaching them to train their own dogs. Great options include entry-level trainer positions, working with shelter/rescue dogs, apprenticeships, and assisting seasoned trainers with dog training classes.
Step 3: Get certifiedWith a solid foundation of knowledge, technical proficiency, and experience, you can now seek independent validation of your skills through our certifications. Doing so proves—to you and to the world—that you have been measured against and passed strict standards. It’s a distinction that sets you apart; a voluntary commitment to professional excellence and ethical conduct.
