The Home of the Dog Trainer
Resources for Dog Trainers
What kind of people are dog trainers? Are they canine psychologists who can anticipate a dog’s every need? Are they ‘whispers who can talk to our four-legged friends? Are they strict disciplinarians who can keep dogs on a tight leash? Are they an unending source of comfort for their charges?
Truth is, they are a bit of everything. They wield the whip and the biscuit with equal ease, and they can read a dog’s mind with even greater ease. As any dog owner will know, merely keeping a pet at home is not enough unless that dog is trained and trained well. A badly trained dog can often be a nightmare at home and outside it, and often poses a real threat to people.
 However, that is not all that dog trainers do. Given the wide range of functions that dogs perform, people who can educate dogs are more in demand today than ever before. Just think: a dog can help authorities detect suspicious objects ranging from bombs to drugs; it can rescue survivors of natural and manmade disasters; it can lead the blind and infirm across busy city streets; it can perform amazing tricks at dog shows; it can patrol your house to make sure intruders can’t get in; all this, and it can also be your best friend.
As is obvious, without a dog trainer, a dog cannot do much of what it is capable of doing. But even the best dog trainer isn't born as one; he picks up the skill as he goes along. Which is why anyone can be a dog trainer given proper guidance.
