Aspiring Service Dog Trainer; How to Start

Hey there,

I’ve always been fascinated by service dogs and their incredible abilities. I’m thinking about making a career change and becoming a service dog trainer.

Does anyone have any advice on how to get started? What kind of certifications or training do I need? Any tips from experienced trainers would be greatly appreciated!

Start by researching certification programs like those from the International Association of Canine Professionals or the National Association of Dog Obedience Instructors. Gain hands-on experience through volunteering with service dog organizations. Network with professionals in the field for insights and mentorship.
