I’ve been thinking about opening my own doggy daycare (out of my house) when I get the resources. I don’t plan on being a dog trainer specifically, but I wouldn’t mind working with some dogs for an extra charge.

Would you recommend that I become a certified dog trainer?

OR

take more of a home schooling approach with “Sit Stay Fetch” or “Dog Training Masters” and learn on my own?
