Service Dog Trainer Program
Some dogs change everything for the person who needs them. As a certified service dog trainer, you can be the one who makes that possible - entirely online, at your own pace.
Improve Lives as a Service Dog Trainer
Training service dogs is one of the most rewarding careers an animal lover can have. You get to work with dogs every day - and in doing so, you help people with physical and psychiatric disabilities live more independently. With 61 million Americans living with disabilities and only approximately 500,000 active service dogs, the need for skilled, dedicated trainers has never been greater.
Animal Behavior College’s Service Dog Trainer Program covers the full spectrum of service dog training - from selection and canine health to obedience, task training, working with handlers, and building your career. The program is delivered entirely online across 9 in-depth modules, plus a final exam, and includes Pet CPR & First Aid certification.
With 25+ years of certifying animal professionals, Animal Behavior College has helped thousands of graduates launch rewarding careers. The ABCSDT credential signals to employers and clients that you have the training, knowledge, and dedication to develop effective service dog teams.
