Learn What It Takes To Become A Thornton CO Dog Trainer

By Kathleen Cooper


Your children convinced you to buy a dog. You brought him home, and now what? Sure, the kids love him, but there has to be more than just walking, playing and jumping around. It is a canine and should be able to follow simple commands. The problem is that he just does not want to listen. Training a dog does not happen overnight. You will need patience and knowledge, all qualities you can find in an experienced dog trainer in Ann Arbor. Familiar with all different dog breeds and behaviors, a skilled Thornton CO Dog Trainer can help you domesticate your mutt, and make him a friend you can truly enjoy.

The first thing people don't realize about becoming a canine coach is that they need to make sure they enjoy working with people. As a canine coach, you will be spending a great deal of time training people to train their canines. Many have the misconception that it is working with canines all of the time, but that is not the case.

If you have the money but not enough time to do the training yourself then maybe using a professional trainer is fine. But if you had already chosen that option you would not be here reading this article. So here we will just look at the option of training your new canine yourself. Whatever age your canine is, he or she will still want to please you. Old canines can learn new tricks, as I proved on numerous occasions with my old canine who lived to be 19 years old!

So age is not a problem. All you need to be able to train YOUR canine is the knowledge of how to do it. Training a canine is not difficult IF you do it properly from the start. Even rescue canines who have had bad experiences can be trained quite easily by their new owner.

Canine coaches are compassionate. They have the heart for pets, specifically canines. They can understand what a canine feels given a particular situation, and they feel for the canine and stays beside him, giving the message that they truly care. Canine coaches never hit their canines. This is not circus training. Training is an exercise of compassion and not cruelty. The more compassion you can show, the better is the result of the training exercise.

Once you have felt comfortable with your experience and education, it will be time to start out on your own. Most likely it will be a part-time job at first, depending on how much time you have on your schedule and the demand in the area in which you live. You will also need to decide if you would like to conduct private lessons or do group classes for several canines at once.

Get your Hands-on Education- Equally as important as academic education is hands-on education. We are, after all, canine coaches! As Bob Bailey (the most renowned animal coach in the world) says, "training is a mechanical skill." And, he's right. He also says "training is simple, but it's not easy!" And, again, he's right. Learning the skills needed to become a good coach can only be learned through practice, practice, and more practice. The academic education will enhance your hands-on training, but you must still get your hands on a lot of canines and do a lot of training.

Without too much effort and in less amount of time, trainers can achieve their defined goal of training a dog without worries and complaints. There are reasons why they are effective in this skill.
