You don't need any certain qualifications. You just need to have experience and be good at it.
Have you been teaching classes for awhile? Do you have a reputation in your area? If no, then do some volunteer training at the club where you take classes.
IMO, the trainers with certifications tend to be the worst ones. They mean nothing to me. Knowledge and experience are what really matter.

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://bitly.im/aL1gM
A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

Forstly to become a qualified dog trainer,you should build and gain a high reputation. You can o this by subscriving yourself and your dog in the pet shows an competitions. And if you want more help about how becoming a good dog trainer, you have the internet an books. Believe me, its not easy as i know it, I'm one.

The only "qualifications" out there are those handed out by private organizations who have set themselves up as the "deciders" and yoou get to pay them money. And a "certificate" from them is meaningless among people who train for competition/performance and breed the quality dogs whom they sell to people and make recommendations about their training.
Get out with your dogs and compete in AKC competions.
Finish many dogs to their AKC performance title - particuarly at the top levels
Join your local kennel club or training club and get involved - sooner or later, they need someone to volunteer to teach one of the classes at the ower level
Start here to find any and all clubs in your area
Once you are a member of a club, teaching with them and winning in the ring, then you are a professional. After that, you have to decide how to market your training business.

Petsmart trains their dogs running shoes by their very own 2-week application. i became going to do it, yet could no longer financially. They pay $10-$12 an hour finished time, plus some value for the dogs in the training. Sorry i do no longer comprehend with reference to the stages.
