Who licenses dog trainers?

[borzoimom]

Are you currently training customs/police dogs? I would think with that background you would know the difference between the need for licensing for customs work and "licensing" for pet training, which is all you are doing now.

It goes by what the certification says. Unless I want to go back though- spending weeks from home again, it wont change. And I do not have time, nor care but that does explain why I have to be licensed and others dont. Actually I have wondered why for a long time. Thanks all..
I cant leave home all those weeks with 4 and a litter on the way- I do not see going back this year at all. And now- after reading all this- why should I bother.. jeez- I think its been over kill on my end, and after all these years, if they want me to continue- they can let go the requirement as far as I am concerned.
