well, there are plenty of books out there on the subject. Also, Adoption Shelters are always looking for volunteers for that kind of thing. Lots of shelters offer obedience courses for people who adopt out of that shelter, or for anyone in General. You can also look in your local yellowpages and find specific Dog Obedience courses running in your area. Call around, ask if you can shadow, or just ask if people are looking for apprentice dog trainers:) happy hunting!

Go here for the best dog training couse http://dog-training-course.checkhere.info
Since it is obvious that you do not have a clue about obedience training, your services should be for free. You cannot train even an adult dog for 8 hours a day. About the most that can be done at any one time is 10 - 20 minutes and that is with an adult dog and not a puppy. The attention span on this baby is extremely short and training session should be no more than 10 minutes and twice a day. Additionally, there isn't going to be much learned if you will only be training for 5 days. Obedience training is cumulative and is done over a much longer period of at least several weeks to several months.
What you can charge is determined by your experience, reputation, and accomplishments and in a case like this, should also include guaranteed expectations. Just working with dogs over several years, is not the experience that is necessary to be a dog trainer. There are too many people who are putting that title to their name and fleecing the public. Don't be one of them.

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/aL3CX
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.

To become a behaviourist I would highly recommend taking it to at least degree level, if not higher.
It is a very complex subject, and there is lots to learn about, including the science behind why behaviours occur.
I believe that University of Lincoln run some correspondance courses, why not have a look at the website.
As far as dog training goes, this is not my area, so I'm sorry I cannot help. BUT one thing I can say is that the 'old school' methods of training often cause behaviour problems, so please go for more modern methods that focus on reward instead of punishment.
Hope all goes well :)

the least perplexing way is to grant inner maximum training to canines vendors and save stable archives of the hours spent with them coaching their canines. Run a advert on your community paper and communicate with the community grownup /community preparation midsection approximately offering domestic dog obedience classes at a low fee fee while you paintings in direction of your certificates.

Get in touch with a local member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers. They should be able to tell you where to get started.
