I really love animals, especially dogs and really want to work with them as a career. I have thought about an animal trainer but I want to explore my options. I don't really want to be a vet because I don't like to see severely hurt animals. Also, what are good things to study for jobs like this?

If you only want to work with dogs, trainer, vet, vet tech, or dog walker are the only jobs I can think of. Don't limit yourself though! You could also be a zookeeper, animal scientist, wildlife technician, lab tech (work with rats, monkeys, and such). Good courses of study would be an animal science degree, taking courses on anatomy, behavior, physiology, nutrition, etc.

If you are in highschool I would take biology and anatomy. Although this anatomy will mostly be human, it will give you an idea on how certain organs systems work. If you want a part time job at the moment... try to find one at a local petco or ask local vets if they are in need of a receptionist or an assistant. Even being around the terms used for care of pets will help you go after whatever pet oriented career path you chose.

If you do not like to see animals that are sick and/or hurt, I wouldn't recommend a Veterinarian or Veterinary Technicians job. I would say either a Dog Groomer or Kennel Position. Good Luck in your search.

You could try being a kennel keeper, groomer, trainer, breeder. Classes you might want to take are biology, cosmotology (for the groomer) and just try your luck with the others. Hope that helps. Also if you aren't too sure of what to do you can always look it up online.

don't be a vet or vet tech. it will make you unhappy. verify for something interior the zoo, whether that's a style of table pastime. i'm advantageous they are going to provide you some backstage excursions. If there's a puppy keep on your section i could verify that out too!
