Thinking about going to dog training school, just wanted to know if it would be financially feasible.

I don't, but I can tell you that the guy who worked for the dog training company I used for my own dog, also did dog training on the side because he wasn't paid all that well by the company.

No, there is no money in STRICTLY training dogs for a living. Most people in the field are also breeding and have a regular job too. It would be nice if I sat here and told you "yes" but that would be a lie. There are few, very few people who work in the dog field, not training dogs for civilians, that actually make real good money. Working as a bomb dog handler in Iraq, for example, pays $10.000-$12.000 a month. The question is, how bad do you want to go there? Otherwise, look into another field to make money.

Depends where you are located. Find a local breed club that has obedience schools, do not use a petsmart. Our local club charges $60 and you get a full 12 weeks of classes. Petsmart charges $200 for 6-8 weeks. Not to mention petsmart and petco are RETAIL establishments. I can't believe how many people in my area use teenage retail workers to train their dogs rather than going to a professional place like a breed club.

I attended a school in Ottawa called Canadian Canine. I was unable to attend the one that I wanted to go to in B.C. because it would involve leaving my other business unattended.
The one in B.C. is expensive but offers an amazing curriculum. It included a term of training service/therapy dogs. I'm sorry that I don't remember the name of the school but I found it by entering Dog Trainer Training in the Yahoo Search Engine.

All my different dogs have been wonderful with my horses, yet my aussie used to prefer to pass in and attempt to herd them. I had 2 QH, and a belgian draft/QH bypass, all vast horses. I additionally had electrobraid fence, I positioned a row of field fence, decrease in 0.5, around the backside of the fence, under the backside twine of the electrical powered fence, exceptionally lots 18 inches of so, it became sufficient of a deterrent because of the fact the only way my aussie ought to recover from the sector fence became to climb it, and that meant getting taken aback by ability of the backside twine of the electro braid. It became in basic terms a momentary concern, he have been given used to the horses after some month and then might trot alongside us on rides. good success! classic Collies
