Who licenses dog trainers?

lol, I am sorry, but that's sort of an odd mental picture....why carrots might I ask? Wouldnt something more menacing be more appropriate?

They hate carrots

Basically any joe on the street can call themselves a dog trainer. thats why its so important to do your research when choosing one. the woman I trained under has written out some info on telling the difference btw the different terms people use (i.e. "behaviorist", "trainer", "behavior specialist", etc) on our site: http://www.seattledogs.com/faqs.htm#how

Ceph,

I wish you good luck in your dog training endeavors.

Dr. Goodnow....the ADA laws are all over the internet for everyone to read.
As for our Canadian laws I respect the ones that pertain to me.

I guess if people want to put out their money to train with a self made trainers that's their business.
I will stand with the certified licensed trainers that I know and admire.

That seems to be the general idea around here- I always have a waiting list for classes.

Canadian laws are also on the internet, none of which require a dog trainer to be certified or liscened.

Now I know how you love to hijack threads with your silly petulant arguments, that mean nothing, so I will once again tell you to enjoy your flailing.

The original question in this thread has been answered. Your inability to verify your spouts and rants, are tiresome, although you seem to enjoy trying to rile people up, to cover your lack of research or any supporting facts pertaining to your claims. Legal or otherwise. You are and have been proven wrong on several points that you still continue to drag out and beat as a truth. Do yourself a favor and understand that it is futile to try to bend reality to fit what you want it to be. It simply is, and it does not change based on your whims, a falsity posted a million times by you still doesn't make a truth.

Dr goodnow----Our towns and cities laws are not posted on the net.
Actually I don't flail, I am a very good swimmer for our university team.
Yes, the original questiopn has been answered to my satisfaction by Borzoidmom.
As previously stated...judge not, lest you judge the wrong person.
I post what my beliefs are and I stand by them.
If I want or need a trainer, I will go to someone with the required certification, licensing, experience, references and satisfied customers.
People waiting in line to train with a specific trainer while there are many others to choose from speaks volumes to me.
