If you want to be a dog trainer in paradise, good news! Hawaii has plenty of dogs in need of obedience training. 60% of Hawaiian households have pets.
Becoming a dog trainer allows you to work with dogs all the time. By teaching them basic obedience, you help both dogs and owners. Dogs who understand what’s acceptable behavior and follow basic cues are far more pleasant to be around and are less likely to be “in the doghouse” all the time!
How to Become a Dog Trainer in Hawaii
It can be difficult, if not impossible, to find a school near you that offers in-person classes for would-be dog trainers if you live in Hawaii. Don’t let that stop you from following your passion, though. Animal Behavior College has been teaching people to become dog trainers online for over two decades.
With ABC, you can enroll wherever you live, whenever you like. As long as you have reliable internet service, you can enroll and get right to work on the first stage: A Basic Overview of Canines.
The program takes about 12 months to complete. Once you’re certified, you have the option of working for an established company or hanging out your own shingle–dog training is an ideal profession if you want to start your own business or have a profitable side hustle!
Getting Dog Training Experience
You’re probably scratching your head and wondering, “How do I learn dog training online? Don’t I need to learn to work with real dogs?”
ABC solved that problem a long time ago. We’ve developed a huge network of mentor partners-professional trainers who live throughout the United States. Once a student has finished the online coursework, we pair him or her with a local mentor for invaluable real world experience. The “externship” requires at least 15 hours with your mentor.
Our students gain confidence in their abilities as they practice their skills alongside a professional trainer.
Hawaii Could Use More Dog Trainers
By becoming a dog trainer you could help Hawaii’s dogs become solid canine citizens and foster the lifelong bond between dog and owner.
