Dog Training Jobs
December 20th, 2009
Finding a dog training job can be quite difficult. Many dog trainers prefer to open their own business which has its challenges as well. To find a job, first find a local dog trainer and see if they are in need of an assistant. Often times you may start out volunteering but its a great way to get your foot in the door.
If you are a dog trainer looking to hire, please send us your listing or post a comment on this page so others can find your dog training job.

Another good way to start and get some word of mouth going is to volunteer at your local dog shelter. Work with the dogs to give them obedience basics and a little socializing to prepare them for adoption. Word of mouth is crucial in any business, and the people who volunteer at your shelter probably have a lot of contacts in the dog world. A referral from someone from a shelter will carry a lot of weight because they are not trying to make money. Their number one concern is the welfare of the dogs. You would not only be doing a great thing, you will be taking a huge step toward getting your name known by the people who can really help you. The dog people in your community. A dog trainer in my community has just started volunteering to help shelter dogs, and I have no doubt that this will be better for his business than paying for advertising. Good luck you you!! Do you use a clicker? I signed up for private obedience classes for one of my dogs with a trainer who used a clicker. I loved the results.
What a great tip!! Volunteering at a shelter is not only a great thing to do, but it will also get you known by the people who will be in a great position to give you referrals.
So much great information here. Very knowledgeable post and pointers as well. I am always looking for Dog Training Tips and Ways.
