Dog Trainer School

[Jessika]

When I worked at PetCo you could attend clinics sponsored through the store itself to become licensed. I'm not sure of any of the details past that, but I was signed up to do it before I found out I was moving and never attended.

Thanks you guys for the information. I found this one school in Arizona that I am really interested in. I don't know if you guys know anything about it. Heres the link. I think its a school that you do police dog training and such but you can also use it for basic obedience. Correct me if i am wrong. What do you think?

I don't like them.

No more silly clickers and cookies that don't work!

Yeah. Okay, because in agility, we beat our dogs into submission and then force them to do the obstacles Plus, this guy uses and promotes negative reinforcement. He calls it a "tap on the shoulder". I call it unnecessary force. JMO.

For what it's worth, you might want to contact some SF SPCA Academy graduates living in AZ and apprentice under them:
