I have been in the medical field for 8 years and the only things I really took away from it was that I can communicate well with people and enjoy teaching them. My first love, however, has been and always will be a happy pack family. I love dogs, but it saddens my heart to see family and friends having such frustration and difficulties with their dogs due to inexperienced training. So I've decided to drastically switch my career and get into training to help families and their pack become functional, safer and happier. But since this is an unregulated industry there is SO much information, and it can get confusing. This video has been EXTREMELY helpful in explaining training, your starting point, and different options that you might pursue. Thank you Thank you Thank you for posting this! It has made the path to the beginning of my journey a little more clear, so thank you for sharing your knowlege! It has been very encouraging!
Can you give a follow up please!? And also what information source did you find the most helpful two years down the line? Thanks
Good video and good information. I actually do work at a shelter training rescue dogs so they can be adopted and I love it. Thank you.
Robin, thanks so much for this webinar! It was very educational.
Such good info! Thank you for taking the time to make this!
Fantastic webinar. Thanks so much for the great info!
Been thinking about becoming a dog trainer for some time now.
Looking forward to learning. Thank you.
Good job!
Very well said thank you.
hi everyone ,if anyone else wants to discover obedience training for dogs try Magonsi Clever Canine Expert ( search on google ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my co-worker got excellent success with it.
I was looking for a course that I would love to see if I had a chance to teach you how to teach dogs through me.
I want to be become a professional dog trainer please let me know what Exactly I do for it.
Will this also contain CGC work ?
This was a great video thank you! I am a disabled Vet and I am looking to train sheltered dogs for PTSD Veterans in Colorado. Any help would be appreciated?
Jim Goehler look up master dog trainer program in NC i think the school is highland? Gi Bill covers it
thx Brother!
there are no nationwide or recognized school and you don't have to be a dog breeder, yet youre "certified" by who?
This was so useful!! Im only 15 but i really want to be a dog trainer. Is it possible to start my career now? Is it a stainable career that i could possibly drop out of school when im 16 and start straight away?
Maybe try to get a Petco or petsmart job, they do dog training, volunteer at your local shelter do things that will help you for a business in your future
What about the CBCC through CCPDT or the ACDBC through IAABC? Those aren't mentioned in the beginning, but shouldn't they be? Thanks!
They should, but IAABC is different, and the CCPDT Doesn't mention that they are a business. It cost almost 400 bucks to just take the test and the are 2 short windows a year. Outside of that, you have to pay an additional $100. So they're not going to mention IAABC. The other cert is just under the same umbrella and they ask the same amount. Is it worth it. Yes. It probably is. Something to think about. Probably the vast majority of clients, have no idea what the letters after your name, really mean. With that said. If you want to train dogs the right way, you should want to be the best, and continue to learn, every single day. CCPDT will help you do that. No I'm not certified through them. But, they are highly regarded as one of the best.
As for the ADPT, they are a little different. Bad? No, I don't say that. However, in my opinion they are more of a "club" that you pay to be a member of, so that you can use their name. Then you can be a Professional. But, if you PAY, just a little bit more, you can be a premium member. Which means you are a better trainer right? Not so much.
It gets you bigger discounts on classes (not much), and your name comes up higher on a trainer search. (So all you have to do is pay $ to be be more desirable. And, the best part, if you want to PAY MONEY, they will let do so, 2 weeks before anyone else, for the national conference. Isn't that nice of them?
Around 2007, they made changes because they were not getting enough "memberships", - translation=money. In the process they threw other organizations under the bus and lost many members. All in the name of cash. Yet, it's supposed to be about the dogs right?
They do offer continuing education classes, but I don't know anyone who has taken one, so I cannot say if they are good or bad. I would have to assume that they would be very educational.
Since then, they have
improved. Still, in my opinion, it's a club that allows you to have name. The CCPTD is similar.
All 3 share the same Code of Ethics and Standards.
All 3 follow LIMA standards, force free, etc.
All cost money.
Ask yourself what is important to you. That's what really matters. Do your research and consider this.
The dog training industry is unregulated.
You don't need a certification. But you should strive for one.
The famous Cesar Millan does not have any certification and yet he operates his own training program courses and rakes the cash for many other things in the public eye. Not having any accreditation doesn't seem to stop him, but some of the top people in the industry have pointed out his unethical treatment of animals. His archaic training philosophy. He's even been accused of cruelty for his jabbing and heel kicks.
It's not for me to say if he's right, wrong, good or bad.
But, I'm not a fan.
So, in my opinion, learn, learn, learn.
You'll find that you don't know nearly what you thought you did, and there is much more to learn than you thought.
In an ever changing world of dog training and behavior, driven by science and the work of those who work with canines. You will need to be hungry for it. Don't give up. Make it your passion and a part of your life. I submerged myself in it years ago. I've yet to come up for air.
Best wishes and good luck to you.
@@kevinmatthews9469 you’re the man
Thanks man. I appreciate it. Just my take on everything. May not be a popular opinion, but I think it's well thought out and considers as many angles as possible in a fair manner. Best wishes my friend!

If you have a puppy school in India then can I learn if I can send your school number in your country?
This is just superb, I have been researching "leash walking your dog" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Cidlerna Barking Banisher - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my co-worker got amazing success with it.
