Dog Health Questions: Where can I go to school to become a professional dog trainer?

Okay, I'm looking at protection dog training, because I love schutzhund, dogs, and have no problem being the decoy. I'm 17, female, and diabetic. I enjoy doing the bitework and just being around dogs. I'm from Nebraska, so I'm looking for a school for dog trainers either in Nebraska or Iowa. Is there medical insurance if I work with places that professionally train protection/law enforcement dogs? I want to do protection dog training, then go to school to work with wolves in Ely, MN at the International Wolf Center. Plz help?

Dog Training Tips - Equipment Needed

Recommended Answer:
Ask the people who you are working with to refer you to a program if there is one. Many people who train law enforcement dogs don't go to a dog training school. They start out in law enforcement or in the military working with K9s. The then start taking specialized classes in the training, selection, and management of these dogs. If you can get a government job training these dogs, there is paid benefits.

• I was going to recommend you check into animal behavior college. It's a distance learning program, you'll do your pre-clinical work online and the clinical work in a facility near you. There's probably another name for it, but I'm a nurse and we did that pre-clinical and clinical.
  
  I'm not sure what sort of aggressive dog training they do. It could be that's something you will learn out of classes as you enter that area.
