Who licenses dog trainers?

[pessimisaurus]

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.

Our towns and cities bylaws are online. Would you like me to post links to some? Theya re all avalable online. As for your swimming, is there anything you can't do? Seems like you have eitehr done everything or are doing everything. Never met someone with sooo much experience and expertise in so many areas.

Your last paragraph is wrong where you say they are REQUIRED to have certifaction. Show me the proof that they are required to have it? I always ask you for proof and you NEVER give any. If you can give some then maybe so many people would not have such a hard time believing your rantings. As for people waiting in lines for Certified trainers, I know many trainers that are not certified that are awsome and always have a long waiting list. Certifaction means nothing in teh way of if someone is a good trainer or not. I also know some certified trainers whom I would never go to. All certifaction is is a piece of paper.

Please do us all a favor when you post, start off with saying that something is your opinion. That is what everyone else does. Don't post something as fact or law unless you can back it up otherwise all it is is your opinion.

Actually Mike, Bmom was proven wrong to the original question also. She at least had the class to admit it.

I have a license and now I know why- and you know it Kym.. And its because of what my certification is ..My 5 level certification requires a license. So I guess that would mean trainers are only licensed if at my level.
