I have my own Miniature poodle named vegas (in my picture) and i have trained her fully as well as
given a few of my family Friends tips they have found helpful with their dogs. I am more then capable to train or fix a dog, for their dominance, aggression, excitement, barking, jumping any of that because ei know i can. I was going to put out fliers and say that i was looking to get experience and help people out with their dogs around the neighborhood. i live in Winnipeg Manitoba Canada and i was wondering if it would be legal to actually do this and help out other peoples dogs.
(i would be doing it as volunteering or in other wise for free)
Dog Training Career - How to Become a Dog Trainer
Recommended Answer:
You've never seen a dominant dog. You've seen dogs that Cesar Milan has incorrectly labeled as dominant. At 16, perhaps, you're old and strong enough to deal with aggressive dogs, but you are a minor. Nobody with a brain would let a minor near their aggressive dog because if/when you got hurt they'd be responsible (working with dogs means you'll eventually get bit btw).
Focus on literature, DVDs, and working with your own dog. When I was 13 or 14 I remember teaching my dog every useless thing I could think of. Good practice and it can't hurt.
Some Less Obvious Benefits of Dog Training - Help For Owners of Older Dogs
- I'm sure you are quite the expert at 16, but you need a few more years and a lot more dogs to become an experienced trainer. Why not find the professional trainers in your area and ask to observe them? Hopefully you will find a couple willing to mentor you. You'll not only need to study dog behavior but you'll need to develop your people skills, because the people are the ones that you will be instructing.
- At the age of 16 you are in no way capable of training or rehabilitating a aggressive dog or a dominant dog. Please leave it to a professional. Finish school then go to college and then you can become the professional
- I know what it feels like to be told you don't know what you're doing based on your age, I've been there. However, I can tell you that right now you need to focus a LOT more on building your credentials then trying to get any sort of business.
To do this you could look for a job with a trainer, or at a kennel, or even a vet clinic. I would also suggest putting some titles on your dog, and maybe even the dogs of some friends or family members. Also, read A LOT. There are tons of books out there from all different perspectives, and the more you read the more rounded you will become.
To get experience, it is best for you to work with experienced people instead of taking on risk by giving advice yourself. Even if you don't charge for your services, you are taking on legal risk by giving people any kind of advice about their dogs, and that's a dangerous road to go down. - Obedience training would have prevented many of these problems and can help solve the bad behaviors that exist. Many people think that obedience training is something that is done to a dog to make it perform some artificial activity on command. But if we turn the words around, we'll be closer to a real definition: Obedience training is to train dogs to be obedient, to obey anything and everything they're told to do. It covers a wide range of lessons a dog can learn, including tricks, family manners, show ring exercises, and skills demonstrations. Sniffing dogs, service dogs for handicapped owners, search and rescue dogs, sled and carting dogs, hunting dogs -- all carry their obedience training to the highest degree. They have been trained to obey an unusual set of commands that increase their value as helpers to man.
