Learn What It Takes To Become A Thornton CO Dog Trainer

By Kathleen Cooper


Many people want to get into the dog training field because they think it sounds fun and would enjoy working with animals as a career. But few understand how to become a dog trainer. Like any field that you may want to enter, there is plenty of work and commitment involved. You should not consider becoming a Thornton CO Dog Trainer unless you are fully committed to doing what it takes to succeed.

The first thing people don't realize about becoming a canine coach is that they need to make sure they enjoy working with people. As a canine coach, you will be spending a great deal of time training people to train their canines. Many have the misconception that it is working with canines all of the time, but that is not the case.

If you have the money but not enough time to do the training yourself then maybe using a professional trainer is fine. But if you had already chosen that option you would not be here reading this article. So here we will just look at the option of training your new canine yourself. Whatever age your canine is, he or she will still want to please you. Old canines can learn new tricks, as I proved on numerous occasions with my old canine who lived to be 19 years old!

Observe and learn - Be selective, and narrow down your list of potential training facilities. Call them and schedule a visit. Good instructors are proud of their techniques and accomplishments. They will gladly demonstrate their abilities. You should have no problems attending a training class. Make your decision - After reviewing all your notes, it should be obvious which canine coach in Ann Arbor to select. Register, and enjoy your training sessions!

A new owner to a canine is a new start, they may bring some bad experiences or habits with them but they are very receptive to you and what YOU want them to do. Do things right from the start, and you will make life much better for you and your new canine (or old canine).

Once you have felt comfortable with your experience and education, it will be time to start out on your own. Most likely it will be a part-time job at first, depending on how much time you have on your schedule and the demand in the area in which you live. You will also need to decide if you would like to conduct private lessons or do group classes for several canines at once.

Get your Hands-on Education- Equally as important as academic education is hands-on education. We are, after all, canine coaches! As Bob Bailey (the most renowned animal coach in the world) says, "training is a mechanical skill." And, he's right. He also says "training is simple, but it's not easy!" And, again, he's right. Learning the skills needed to become a good coach can only be learned through practice, practice, and more practice. The academic education will enhance your hands-on training, but you must still get your hands on a lot of canines and do a lot of training.

There are a variety of ways to get this hands-on education. You can mentor under another trainer, volunteer at a shelter, work with friend's and family's canines, get a job at a vet clinic or kennel, and so on. Start thinking now about your schedule and how you can get your hands on a lot of different canines.
