How can I become a dog trainer...?

I don't want to work at a guide dog school, but I would like to train guide dogs, and/or other assistance dogs. I am not looking to make a profit, just to do something good.

Is this a good idea? Is it possible? How would I go about doing it? Are there any laws for how they must be trained, or any other regulations I should know about?

I've been doing lots of research, but I haven't been able to find anything about becoming an independent guide dog trainer.

I will not be doing this in the United States or Canada. I would like to work in Brazil. If anyone has any experience, or knows anybody that can help me, I would appreciate a point in the right direction :) Thank you!!

    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/aMfus

    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.
