Dog Health Questions: I live in Canada and i want to study dog behaviour and become a trainer any ideas?

okay so i am 17, turning 18 in March. I'm very curious on where i can find places where i can get a degree or certificate of some sort to become a dog trainer and possibly a dog behaviourist (or simply study dogs).. i have no intentions to take a Vet Tech course, because that won't help me, but i am thinking on and off about taking it in College, but it's really undecided.

so does anyone in Canada know any places, or someone i can contact sometime soon to get some information on training and studying dog behaviour.

Thank you very much :)

p.s. i don't mean training in pet stores, i mean legit dog training.

After I receive my degree in veterinary technology, I'm going to go for the Diploma of Animal Behavior Sciences and Technology. They had a diploma for nutrition and fitness for canines, but I don't know what happened to it.

To become a proper canine behaviorist, you must be a DVM. There are occasionally courses offered for veterinary technologists, as well as specialties, but for the average person I don't think there is anything beyond certificate courses and the like.

Good luck to you! : )

The Right Information Is the Key To Effective Dog Training - Dogproblems Reviewed

• No degree or certificate needed - just tons of hands on work under a mentor and PROOF (IE dogs that are rehabbed or titled.) Classes and programs are generally useless. They focus on one or two methods and tend to poo-poo any others, which leaves you at a severe disadvantage.
  
  You need to title some dogs, work with someone knowledgeable in the field, and get some experience with ALL methods in there. No classroom is going to give you that.


• I used BarkBuster dog training program that was worked wonders on my dog. They are in several countries around the world and started in Australia. They have a program to become a trainer then you go to homes to teach dog owners how to stop dog problems. One big thing they did for us was teach us how to observe our dogs and see their signs of dominance, submissive, etc. It might be a great start at earning money in the field and can build on it with other programs or seminars to continue your learning.


• I'm a dog trainer living in Canada. I took my studies through The Animal Behavior College. They are based in the US, but have a wonderful online program. They also have mentors all over Canada for their students to work with. http://www.animalbehaviorcollege.com
