How Do You Become A Dog Trainer?
Throughout my 20 years of experience, I have probably been asked that question what feels like a hundred times a week. The answer is study with a master trainer! Loving dogs is not enough -- you have to have a good skill set and extensive knowledge.
Being a dog trainer is more than theory and obedience. A good trainer is fluent in multiple styles of training, and has worked with every breed of dog imaginable. Our two year apprentice program is the most extensive in New York, and the surrounding areas. If you are truly interested in working with dogs in a positive yet effective manner, the Who's Walking Who apprentice program will prepare you to work with puppies, adolescent and adult dogs.
The Apprentice Program from 2007-2008 begins OCTOBER, 2007
