Which Dog Training Program Is Best For Me?

by Wayne Booth

One of the questions I am asked quite often is “What program should I take to learn to be a dog trainer”? You have many options available to you. Below are several that deliver excellent results.

  1. An online program like K9-University
  2. A correspondence type program like Dog Trainer Coach
  3. A 4–12 week live program at a training center like Southern Star Ranch K9

After asking each potential student some necessary questions, I can generally pinpoint the exact program that is perfect for their situation.

The best way to learn dog training is to select a good training facility that also offers a dog trainer program like the program we offer at LearnToTrainDogs.com.

The programs range from 4, 6 and 12 week programs that cover everything from basic obedience to training dogs for law enforcement, including detection work. The program also gives you valuable information on starting your own business. If you are able to leave home, work and family for 1-3 months this is an excellent way to learn.

Not everybody is able to attend a training facility either because of money or obligations at home. If you are unable to be gone for 4-12 weeks we offer a great online program that allows you to train and learn from home. We actually meet online for 6 weeks and cover all aspects of learning to conduct obedience classes as well as how to start your business full or part-time. You are able to video your training at home, mail to your instructor and have it reviewed and critiqued by your instructor. If you are able to get a way for a week we also offer a 1 week live program in Nashville, Tennessee each month that covers the same material.

If you want to get started but money is an issue, we offer a program that allows you to pay monthly. It is our 12 month program and covers everything you need to know so you can offer your clients:

  1. Group Obedience Classes
  2. Puppy Classes
  3. In-Home Training Lessons
  4. Board and Train Program
  5. Behavior Problem Counseling

As you can see there are several things to consider when choosing the correct program for your needs. There is no reason to put off any longer your desire to work with dogs.
