Who licenses dog trainers?

[borzoimom]

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.

Well, Dr. Goodnow, Boirzoidmom's answer is good enough for me. And seeing that she has people standing in line for her classes then she would be my choice for a trainer.

Thank you. My certification has over 5 things listed- by law I have to have a license because of WHAT is listed.
If jane doe that has a basic obedience or agility etc- no they are not required to be licensed- .. I am !

Good enough for me Borzoid, experience, credentials, and credibility with a line up is good enough for me .

Sorry mike001 I have the same credentials and experience, that is how I know borzoimom btw no D in her name dearest.
And you wouldn't get on a waiting list with me ever.
I prefer to work with people whose animals aren't brighter than they are.

Dr Goodnow---I wouldn't be standing in your line. I prefer open minded non judgemental trainers who prove themselves in the public eye.
But thank you for the compliment...yes all my dogs are very smart, each and everyone having a cgc, td, cd, cdx, ud, tx and shutzund. Agility and flyball I consider playtime for them, but they also have their titles for that also.
I guess my training isn't that bad after all.
I think I'll go order my service dog capes now.

WOW you have SUPER DOGS. Never knew a dog with expertise in so many areas. As for the service dog capes what does that have to do with anything?

Thats Mikes way of saying my name casual. My certifications require license and after reading all this, with my experiences, I can say this- it scares me others can claim to be certified after I have SPEND SO MUCH money, time and effort. I know who I am - ... And it scares me to death, that people that have no certification can be " a trainer- "... Jeez- no wonder behavior problems run rampant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NicoleLJ]

Jeez- no wonder behavior problems run rampant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am sorry but this statement bugs me. I know many a certified trainer that have wrecked dogs with their training. And I know many a trainer who are not certified that train exceptionally great dogs. Majority of the training schools, police training centers and Service dog training facilities were strated by people who had NO certifaction. All certifaction is is a piece of paper. Nothing else. Blaming non certified trainers for the "behaviour problems run rampant" is very judgemental and is false in my opinion.

It seems that a lot of things scare you to death, chill out. People need to evaluate anyone they choose for a service, license or not.

Do you EVER stop??

This bickering every night is incredibly annoying and why many long-term PT'ers no longer frequent as much as they used to.
