Become a Successful Dog Expert

Why is Dog Training a Rewarding Career?

In today’s era, success and wealth can be achieved without a college degree. There are numerous professional specialties that are thriving, even more so than twenty years ago. In Ohio, where dog ownership constitutes 63% of households, the demand for dog trainers is on the rise. In particular, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in an increased need for dog trainers to address the behavioral issues of “COVID dogs” in the Akron area alone, which is estimated to have around 120,000 dogs.

How Can I Become a Professional Dog Trainer?

Becoming a professional dog trainer does not require any federal or state license or certificate. There are various dog training companies and individuals offering training courses, both online and in-person, with different and sometimes contradictory methods of dog training.

In reality, becoming a true specialist in dog training takes years of hands-on experience and a successful demonstration of your ability to effectively solve dog owners’ problems. Having a skilled mentor can expedite and simplify this journey. Finding the right teacher is the key to achieving professional success.
