Dog Health Questions: Trying to find a book about running a dog training business?

I am looking for the single best book I could get that has the most information about starting and running a dog training business.

Also if you have any websites on the same topic that would be great

Dog Training and the Dog-Human Bond



Recommended Answer:
These are the 3 best resources that were given to me when I was researching the very same question for my sister.

1. First off, research the market you are getting into. I know this sounds like a Mr. Obvious type of statement, but there are effective, and not-so-effective ways of doing this type of research. So what would be the most effective and cheapest way to research the dog training world? I'd head on over to Mr. P's dog training pages. Tons and tons of information all geared towards the dog training subject.

2. Get a mentor or become an apprentice... the best and cheapest way to do this is either contact someone who is actively in the business (make sure they are out of your proposed territory - you will not get any help or advice from someone you may take business away from), or tap into SCORE. Go to their website and type in "dog trainer" as part of your criteria for a business mentor. It's free, and you may fall onto some retired dog trainer who will give you priceless guidance not found in any book.

3. Look at books recommended by established organizations. There are tons of how-to ebooks being marketed online today - and most of them carry inflated price tags since anywhere from 50-75% of the price goes to the affiliates who are marketing them. Sorry, but this is a truism in most cases.

Good luck in your search...
