Dog Health Questions: Are there Govt' monies available for people wanting to be dog trainers?

I was wondering if there are any grants, scholarships or any type of funding available to people who want to become a dog trainer? The only programs I know of are for people with some type of learning disability or who have been laid off at no fault of their own(I don't qualify for any of those). The dog training programs can cost anywhere from $3-12K. I live in Missouri if that helps.

Thanks for reading, any positive input helps

HAHA monies, how are you going to train a dog if you don't know proper English. There is no such thing as "monies" its money. I doubt it. You don't make a lot of money dog training.

• OK those guys are *******, but to answer your question: I don't think there's any government programs set up to turn people into dogtrainers per se. It doesn't require a college degree, only certification. BUT you may be able to spin it so that someone else foots at least part of the bill. The most practical thing I can think of is to get a job at a training facility as something else - a receptionist, pooper scooper, etc - and see if they have some kind of tuition reimbursement program. You could also look into programs like JobCorps to see if they have animal related training available (depending on how old you are). If you look, you will find something that meets your needs. Dog shelter, maybe? Do some cold calling, put ouyt feelers, start a network. You'll get it.
  
  And to the poster who said something about half her paycheck: Yes, the government falls all over themselves to get people GAINFULLY EMPLOYED you stingy bastard. Instead about feeling good that your money may go to help someone become EMPLOYED and thus, a TAXPAYER, you ***** about them. Bravo.
