Helping train dogs as a professional in canine behaviour can be a rewarding career for many.
In this blog, we’ll run down just some of the reasons why people are drawn to this employment path and explore how to get a solid understanding of this in-demand role.
For the love of dogs
If the company of dogs makes you happy, working as a trainer or behaviour specialist is ideal. You’ll spend your working day surrounded by dogs and connect with their owners, like-minded individuals who feel the same way you do about canine companionship. As a trainer, you’ll encounter a wider range of breeds than you ever could as just an owner, for a more comprehensive understanding of a species synonymous with loyalty.
A passion for learning
If you love your subject, studying is never a tiresome task. Staying at the forefront of your field as a dog trainer requires continuous research to ensure you’re aware of the latest thinking and approaches regarding canine behaviour so you can introduce new techniques to the guidance you give.
Variety as the spice for life
If you bore easily at repetitive schedules, the variety of a dog trainer’s day will appeal. From helping dogs learn socialising skills with their peers to puppy toilet training when they’ve just left the litter, each day will present a myriad of challenges you can rise to meet.
