Dog Training Businesses

Becoming a dog trainer you would think means to train the dog but most of the time you are training the owner to train their dog. There are no certifications needed but there are some great courses you can take through many organizations. The best (and cheapest) way to learn is to volunteer at your local animal shelters, help other trainers and even get tips from your local veterinarian. Most of these places will be more than happy to teach you in exchange for your volunteer time.

The great thing about becoming a dog trainer is that you can decide where to conduct your business. One possibility is to offer one on one training from your home and hold training classes for a group of people.

Supplies:

Basically there aren’t any necessary supplies if you have each person bring their pet with a collar & leash. However if you had these supplies on hand, it might make your job easier:

Treats - To help in training and also for sale

Leashes - A variety of kinds not only for you to use but also to sell

Whistles

Toys

Advertise:

Flyers to vets, pet stores, animal shelters and other animal related organizations

Ask the owners or managers if you could hold classes at their facilities.

Ads in the paper, on the radio or local TV stations

Offer “specials” to grab people’s attention
