How to become a Professional Dog Trainer!

Hello dog lovers! It's a great day to be alive. This picture was taken at Rock's Positive K-9 Training and Rescue in Big Bend, WI. Becoming a true professional dog trainer is not as easy as it seems. One needs to work as a handler and an assistant while learning basic obedience and problem solving. Then it is neccessary to study animal behavior while working at a kennel. One must also learn different drives, instincts, and aggression. It is also crucial to know how to balance the different drives for personal protection work. Classroom study, lectures from trainers like Wayne Davis, reading books, and developing a specialty are all very important. Training with several dog trainers and learning a few different systems helps become a well rounded trainer.  Have a super day and train hard!
