Dog Trainer

A Dog Trainer works with dogs and their owners to improve behaviours or teach specific skills. You might attempt to eliminate problem behaviours such as excessive barking or aggression or address an issue such as social skills. Dog Trainers may use techniques to get dogs to follow commands or perform particular tasks. You might work with domestic pets or working dogs.

Dog Trainers should be patient and have excellent animal handling skills. It’s important that you understand dog behaviours and can call on a range of strategies to help dogs reach their goals. Dog Trainers require good communication skills because you’ll usually be working with owners or other dog handlers.
