Who licenses dog trainers?

Its not a business license.. You do not get it what we are saying.. its a certification obviously NOT done in your state. Remind me not to take dog classes there. ..

I get it! Certification and license are two completely different things. I could become a "certified" dog trainer in Arizona if I chose to. I CAN'T become licensed because licensing for dog trainers isn't in existence anywhere in the united states.

That's my concern!

ONE MORE TIME- by being licensed- that means you are certified by a accrediated school, and carry a license as a way of recording. Just like a doctor- you can have a medical degree- but that doesnt mean you are licensed. You have no recordable record without a license. The license records complaints etc. WITHOUT A LICENSE- a doctor even can practice- but you accept the outcome. We also see this in the news all the time as well. Its a recording method of certifacation.
