I agree with tnerb52. Great low cost opportunities for you and your dog. You will meet other kids who want to work with their dog as well as train your dog at a class where you will be welcome and encouraged.

Basic Dog Training - Where To Buy Your Dog From

• usually they prefer an adult to attend with a child its that whole child arent responsible enough thing


• At most places, I believe you have to be 18 to sign your dog up, and the cheapest once I have seen are an 8 week class for $120 at PetSmart. Ask your parents about it.


• Check with local 4H organization in your area.
  Also Boys/Girls club may have something or a referal.
  Your local AKC/Kennel club may have youth classes.


• Search to see if you have a local obedience or training club in your area. Find the closest one and contact them. You can then ask them if they can offer any referrals for your area. They probably have a lot of members who are trainers themselves. You will also find that the referrals you get will likely have much cheaper rates than the local pet supply stores (which I don't suggest seeking training thru one of those anyway). And you will probably find no age restrictions, as it should be. Why should kids not be permitted to train their pets after all? It's a wonderful hobby for an interested child.


• Normally an adult is meant to be present for health & safety etc. Why don't you ask your vet?


• Go online and look up Training tips, then find yourself an obedience training class and take your dog to it. 9 times out of 10 it's something you are not doing right. And if you want a well behaved dog, you have to learn how to help it be a well behaved dog. I took my German Shepard to obedience training and it was the best thing I have ever done. I found the things I was doing wrong and learned the proper ways to correct his behavior and he is three years old now and the most awesome dog anyone could as for and anyone that owns German Shepards will tell you they are hard headed, and slow to mature. They act like puppies well into adult hood. So ask yourself, is it worth paying a bit of money and a bit of time one day a week for a life time of joy? I certainly thought so!
