Learn What It Takes To Become A Thornton CO Dog Trainer

By Kathleen Cooper


Many people want to get into the dog training field because they think it sounds fun and would enjoy working with animals as a career. But few understand how to become a dog trainer. Like any field that you may want to enter, there is plenty of work and commitment involved. You should not consider becoming a Thornton CO Dog Trainer unless you are fully committed to doing what it takes to succeed.

The first thing people don't realize about becoming a canine coach is that they need to make sure they enjoy working with people. As a canine coach, you will be spending a great deal of time training people to train their canines. Many have the misconception that it is working with canines all of the time, but that is not the case.

If you have the money but not enough time to do the training yourself then maybe using a professional trainer is fine. But if you had already chosen that option you would not be here reading this article. So here we will just look at the option of training your new canine yourself. Whatever age your canine is, he or she will still want to please you. Old canines can learn new tricks, as I proved on numerous occasions with my old canine who lived to be 19 years old!

Another great way to learn is by becoming a mentor to an experienced canine coach. While you will not earn very much money, the experience you will gain can be invaluable. You will need this hands-on training, in addition to the book training in order to become a quality coach.

Canine coaches are compassionate. They have the heart for pets, specifically canines. They can understand what a canine feels given a particular situation, and they feel for the canine and stays beside him, giving the message that they truly care. Canine coaches never hit their canines. This is not circus training. Training is an exercise of compassion and not cruelty. The more compassion you can show, the better is the result of the training exercise.

Now if you have had your canine for a while and it still needs training don't worry. Even if you have not done everything right from the start, you can still train your canine now. Don't underestimate the intelligence of your canine or its willingness to please its owner. ALL canines can be trained if you know how. And that is the important bit. HOW can you train your canine quickly and have fun doing it?

Get your Hands-on Education- Equally as important as academic education is hands-on education. We are, after all, canine coaches! As Bob Bailey (the most renowned animal coach in the world) says, "training is a mechanical skill." And, he's right. He also says "training is simple, but it's not easy!" And, again, he's right. Learning the skills needed to become a good coach can only be learned through practice, practice, and more practice. The academic education will enhance your hands-on training, but you must still get your hands on a lot of canines and do a lot of training.

There are a variety of ways to get this hands-on education. You can mentor under another trainer, volunteer at a shelter, work with friend's and family's canines, get a job at a vet clinic or kennel, and so on. Start thinking now about your schedule and how you can get your hands on a lot of different canines.
