Whether you’re dreaming about becoming a dog trainer, or want to work with dogs in another setting, we created this course to make your goals achievable.
At D.O.G we know that the desire to work with dogs is not simply a passing hobby, but something you have a great passion for. We also know that it is not often easy to get into the industry. Most companies only want to hire someone who already has dog training experience, and most training schools cost over $5K just to get started.
We set out to change this! We created a dog trainer course to make it attainable for those truly passionate about dog training to get into the industry. The course was built by certified tenured trainers to bring you the best information and loads of hands-on experience.
