janice h asked:


that class who is very anti-social. She was mistreated by a vet tech and since then does not trust most people and has issues with other dogs. She has attended one other class and made a lot of progress but that was about 6 weeks ago and she regressed somewhat in that time. Any suggestions on how I can help her become better socialized? Her Mom cannot afford private classes with me or with an in-home trainer so this is her best option.

Samantha G asked:


What do I need? Where do I go to become trained so i can be eligble to become a professional trainer? (not like petsmart) . But i want to start figuring out what I need to do to become one? Is it difficult?

Are they paid pretty decent?

Do they go to college for it? Any bits of detail you can give me would be helpful.

Dont tell me to go to a dog trainer and ask because that wont get me a certificate of dog trainership or something. lawl.

i wanna know what i need

Wintergirl asked:


I am blown away by how much they charge! They want $125-$150 just for a consultation and then $100 per hour. I am a teacher who went to college for 6 years, has 2 degrees (just to become a teacher) and I earn $125 per DAY (not hour) now as a substitute.

Is it because I’m in San Jose, CA where everything is insanely priced or do ALL dog trainers everywhere get $100 per hour???

2A6 asked:


I have a 5 month Doberman Pinscher who comes from show bloodlines. Our breeder and trainer believe that he would make “the perfect show dog”, feeling confident that he would take home many awards. However, I am worried about this process. Is it expensive? Is the life very difficult and demanding? I don’t want to subject him to harsh expectations. He is still a pup now, but if I wanted to show him in the future, what would I need to do?

Lisa asked:


Before I logged off this morning, I was reading a question where the user wanted to become a certified dog trainer, and several answers gave her advice. One answer reccomended a couple of schools-one in Ohio, one in California, both of which that answerer linked to.

Being quite a nosey, curious person, I checked out both links, and was reading about them, but decided to go do my thing, and jump back on later, when I had a moment.

Now that I have that moment-I can’t for the life of me find the link to the one in California! I checked my browser history, found the one in Ohio, but not the other link. I checked the last 10 pages in this category, have found nothing. Maybe I overlooked something, though. I’m hoping someone who answered that question, and knows what I’m talking about, can point me back to it, so I can finish my reading. I even googled it, and still can’t find it.

…I don’t think that school wants me to finish reading about them, LOL!
I don’t remember the name of the asker. :(

This was the other link mentioned, by the answerer:
http://www.nk9.com/

I do remember the school offered a Master degree in something. They offered classes in different things-nutrition, dog breeds, ETC.

And for the first answerer- I know, but like I said, I like to look at things. Heck, yesterday I was out of the county, and just had to drop in to a few of the local stores (like K-mart), just to see what they looked like, and if the store was anything like our local K-mart. I’m just that type of person-I like to see all sorts of things, so I was going to finish reading about it. Lol.

Oh, well. If I can’t find it, I can’t find it. Thanks for the help/stars. :o )

I did have my eye on ABC in California but I need a school closer Does anyone know of any colleges on the east coast, preffereably New England? it would be amazing if they had a school specifically for gaurd breeds but.. Thanks So much!
Professional Dog Training is a certified career. I’d appreciate serious answers…

Dandie the Dirty Dog asked:


I’m interested in becoming a dog trainer and have searched in many places (yahoo.com, superpages.com etc…) and couldn’t find much for dog training schools, except for obedience courses for my dog, but that’s not what I want.

Thanks a lot!
