Professional Dog Training Methods Revealed

Recommended Answer:
I've been grooming and training dogs for over 40 years. When I owned my own shop I took home about 60k per year. Most groomers are paid on commission, which means the more you can do the more you earn. Getting proficient enough to turn out 7 or 8 dogs a day takes time and experience. Location will determine pricing, as will local competition.

There are grooming schools you can go to in lieu of college, but a college education will serve you well in any field, so don't discount any such opportunity you may have. A degree in animal sciences, ethology and behavior can serve you well in work as a trainer or animal behavior specialist.

You will learn about timing your grooms with experience, but in most cases you will set the time for owners to pick up their dogs. You will also learn about handling uncooperative dogs at grooming school and with experience. Dealing with a feral dog is virtually unheard of. At the very least you'll want to ensure that dogs you work on have vaccinations that are up to date, something that a feral dog would likely not qualify. You might look for a job as a bather at a local grooming shop to get yourself started. Some groomers are also willing to train you to groom while you work.

I've never been paid for training dogs, though I have taught obedience and tracking for over 30 years. I volunteer through my local dog clubs. Volunteering with a training club is one of the best ways to learn about training. You will meet many experienced trainers and can learn from helping them teach owners of many different dogs. Combined with this experience, if you go to school and study animal behavior and training, you'll be in a better position to earn a decent living at it.

Dog Training Tips for the New Dog Owner

• The average salary of a dog groomer is LOW. Between $20 - $30 thousdand annually.
  If someone wanted four dogs, I would tell the owner how long it would take & ask them to leave the dogs with me for the day.
  Why would you bathing a ferrel dog? If a dog ever attempted to bite me, I would immediately muzzle it.
  Dog trainers also don't make much. It is really hard to get clients.
  No, you don't have to go to college for either of them.....however, you definitely should go to college cuz you are NOT going to like the money that make at either of these jobs & a college education would be helpful in making a better income.


• Hello, depending on where you live will tell you how much you are going to make in both jobs, like here in Calif there are groomers on every corner, along with petco and petsmart. So it can sometime be difficult to make allot of money. So to give you an average salary this is just going to very depending on where you live. You will have more dogs in certain time of the year as opposed to other times of the year
  
  As far as a client that has 4 dogs, you as the groomer tells the pet owner what time the dogs will be done, the client may ask if they can be done a certain time but if you have allot of dogs then you tell the pet owner when the dogs will be done. Now as far a ferrel dog this just dose not happen, ferrel dogs are wild they are not pets so people don't own ferrel dogs. If an aggressive dog dose come in you have every right to refuse to groom that dog.
  
  There are grooming schools some grooming salon will even teach grooming.
