How to Become a Dog Trainer in Virginia

If you love dogs and want to help them live their best lives, becoming a dog trainer in Virginia may be the ideal career move for you. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects the job market for animal careers growing by 22% by 2029. Dog trainers will be in high demand for the foreseeable future!

But There Is Not a Dog Obedience Training School Near Me

You may worry that you don’t have a local dog training school, but that really isn’t a problem. Founded more than two decades ago, Animal Behavior College offers excellent online programs in dog training as well as other animal careers like cat training, pet grooming, veterinary assisting, zookeeper assisting, and aquarium maintenance. As long as you have access to reliable internet connection, you can enroll in our dog training school.

Is the Entire Dog Training Course Online?

Naturally, real-world experience is necessary when learning to train dogs. Over the years, the school has built an impressive network of professional dog trainers throughout the United States and Canada who serve as mentors to our students. By combining online coursework with a hands-on externship alongside a local mentor, ABC provides a solid foundation for our students. In addition, students must volunteer a minimum of ten hours at a local animal shelter. Our graduates get loads of great experience and leave the program certified dog trainers with the confidence to enter the workforce.

When Can I Enroll?

Anytime, and the sooner you start, the sooner you’ll be certified. The ABC dog training program takes about 12 months to complete. Within a year of enrolling, you could be working professionally!
