Tested Dog Training Tips That Improve Your Dog's Behavior

Recommended Answer:
Personally, i don't look for degrees in dog training - they can easily be faked, you know.

I look for EXPERIENCE. Who the person trained with, what methods they use or have used, how long where they training under a person, how many people did they train under, how many dogs have they trained, are any of those dogs TITLED in obedience trials.

I also look for things like their past work history - any experience working with animals, any shelter experience, and so forth.

There is so much you CAN'T learn through a few college courses. Many colleges will focus on ONE method of training (positive methods being most popular) and that method may NOT work on all animals (in fact, being a shelter worker i KNOW that some methods being used today are totally useless for most dogs.)

It's also hard to tell which college or course is ACCURATE. There are many out there, again, that focus on or support one thing over another even though no one really knows for sure.

If i where you i would look into mentoring under a trainer or two. Or three, or four... or as many as you can find.

Add - looking at the links, most offer a lot of their "courses" over the internet and very few have rigorous hands-on training. You're better off working under a professional in the field than doing things over the internet.
