ABC Certified Dog Trainers in California

Become a Certified Dog Trainer in California

Everyday certified dog trainers in California work tirelessly to save the lives of dogs throughout the state. From San Diego to San Francisco, too many dogs are being brought to local shelters simply because their owners are frustrated over their difficult, yet correctable behavior. Certified dog trainers provide dog owners the skills to teach their pets obedience. Well-behaved dogs not only save their owners from embarrassing public situations, but they also ensure a safer and happier community.

At Animal Behavior College, we know a little education can go a long way in preventing dogs from ending up in California animal shelters and other shelters across the US. If you love dogs and ever wonder how to become a certified dog trainer, Animal Behavior College has a flexible, hands-on dog obedience training program that can accommodate you. While establishing a dog training business is possible almost anywhere, California presents more opportunities for dog trainers due to the large population of dogs in the state.

Resources for Dog Owners in California

With more than 10 million people and more than 1 million households with dogs in Los Angeles County alone, there is no shortage of dogs that need training. The beautiful year-round weather, dozens of dog parks and some of the most dog-friendly cities in the nation make California one of the best states in the country to own and train dogs. Take your dog to some of the top dog parks in California.

Most Dog-Friendly Cities

California is known to have some of the most dog-friendly cities in the US. According to Forbes’ 2013 “The Best Cities for Dog Lovers” list, San Francisco and San Diego are among the most accommodating to dogs and their owners. While not mentioned on the list, locals know Carmel and Huntington Beach are popular vacation spots for their four-legged family members. Regardless of how pet-friendly a city may be, it is important to note that even the most inviting cities expect pet owners to have reasonable control of their dogs to prevent disruptions and unsafe situations.
