I just took a course with the SPCA school to become a dog trainer. Contact your local Spca to find out if they have one. Maybe a good way is to start volunteering!
to become a dog trainer you should be around dogs a lot . like 50-90% of your time . figure out how they act and what certant ones like. then start asking people if they need help with there dogs and see if you can help them .
Volunteer at the SPCA, even if you are taking course through a school or the internet. You can also volunteer at rescue groups and shelters to give them hand. READ anything and everything about dogs and training. Find a trainer that you like and apprentice under him/her. READ MORE. Keep an open mind about training and techinque’s, not any one type of training will always work for all dogs, even though alot of people will argue that. A good trainer should know everything about any given breed of dog so get the “The complete Dog Book” from the AKC and memorize it ;>), alot of people will argue that also.
Hope this helps
