So you’ve decided to get a dog. You’ve seen adorable pictures and funny videos all over the internet. You know dogs are great companions and loyal friends. What could possibly go wrong? But before you run out to the closest shelter or dog breeder to pick your furry friend, there are a few important factors […]
I found this graphic particularly relevant after my recent professional conference.
There are so many dog trainers whose only qualifications are "being around dogs a lot." And lots of dog walkers that offer dog training services, again without any formal training or behaviour modification qualifications.
Like the graphic says, experience is good, but it is no substitute for formal studies and qualifications. I would go further and say that ONGOING education is just as important in maintaining qualifications.
Don't just trust your dog training to a dog enthusiast, make sure they are a professional also!
Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions on the multitude of qualifications out there.All ICB members have both qualifications and experience.
