Question by taylor: i am 16 is there anywhere to apprentice in dog training?
i am 16 and i am 100% sure that i want to be a dog trainer but nobody will give me a chance. i grew up around dogs and i am wanting to find someone that will allow me to learn hands on with them. i am willing to do anything i have one more year of school left.
i am also planning to go to collage for dog training. i would like to have some hands on experience before i go. it would really mean a lot to me if someone would do this for me.
thank you,
Erin Beem

Just try to get ANY job at a training kennel. Spend your spare time watching the trainers. You could also get involved with a Schutzhund club. Going to a so-called “Canine College” is a waste of time & money. Avoid any type of “Franchise” or “Chain” trainers. “Hands on” with a real trainer is the best education you can get.

Your closest Schutzhund club is probably Omaha.

after hearing that Cesar got sued after choking a dog to death by making it run on a treadmill till it was tired, i couldn’t look at his face anymore. plus, i don’t like his ways of training, he only uses fear.

They get all of their dogs initial training done in Germany from the breeders. But other than finding one of those breeders, the only way is with a training officer.

Question by sunshineandsilliness: Are there any good websites or hints from you folks on dog training?
We’ve recently gotten a black lab from some friends. She is 1 1/2 years old and is trained OK in the basics (sit, kennel, go), but we would like to train her better. I haven’t had a dog in forever.

Take her to Dog Obedience classes, they arent very expensive, and its really fun. I took our German Shepard for 2 years….. You can usually find info on the classes through a 4-H group.

How old do you have to be to learn shultzen dog training. Are there better dogs than German shepherd dogs?

Alan — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 14:27:35 +0000

Question by Mary Simms: How old do you have to be to learn shultzen dog training. Are there better dogs than German shepherd dogs?
Where do you buy good German shepherd dogs for working and how much are they? Are there schools that let 15yr olds learn about training dogs or do you wait until you graduate?

Best answer:

Answer by ~ La vita è misterioso ~
It’s schutzhund.

And unless you can get work scooping poop at a working shepherd kennel, I doubt you’d ever get close to any dog of that caliber.

But I don’t mean to dampen your spirits – I’ll star for Greekman, Curtis, Dutchman and others who have working dogs – maybe they have more info for you.

Also, most often malinois are used, in addition to other belgian shepherds – they are often better bred than today’s German shepherd, at least American-bred German shepherds.

Hope this is helpful!

Question by Robin: Are there any Cattle Dog training facilities in Indianapolis, IN?
I have an Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler and I really need to take her to training. I was wondering if there were any training facilities just for training cattle dogs in or around Indianapolis. I would like to train her to do obedience and hopefully agility, if that helps.
