How/Where do you learn to become a dog trainer?

It's great that you're having fun with your pup! It's never too early to start working on tricks, and to keep on reinforcing the good behaviors that you want your puppy to repeat. A great foundation that you build now will help you a lot in the future. Here are some sites to get you started, and some books.

I'm going here @ end of the month for puppy camp.

Contact Animal Behavior College. This is where I took my dog training course and I mentored with trainers all over the city. Now I am qualified to offer any kind of training. Email if you have more questions.

There are numerous ways to learn to train dogs, but in the end every one of them relies on finding a mentor that will teach you.

"Dana Brown Ester started me on my path as a trainer and teacher. I owe her for more than she will ever know, definitely more than she has ever gotten credit for. When I approached Dana for help, this was her responce"

"I will answer all of your questions to the best of my ability and I will try to show and teach you all that I know. But, it is then up to you to apply what you have been shown in an intelligent, timely, and humane manner.

All I ask in return is that your mind remains open to what is offered, not just by me now, but by others in the future and not just to people and ideas you respect but to the ones you respect the least.

What you learn - pass on. There are no secrets"

Any school near you should offer Ob classes. Some even offer dog tricks classes, but you have to make sure your dog is OB trained first.

is there a petsmart where you live? you should try there, i think they do training classes for both pets and owners. good luck, hope you get your pup on tv! (don't forget us little people) lol

I have provided a website for you to check out.

Good Luck to you!
