Dog training, career wise.

So about two days ago, me and kimmi had an idea. In order to sit these courses, these wonderful dog training courses i need experiance. wait let me start from the begining,

Now not many people know this but you need NO training to become a dog trainer, yep. Anyone can open up a shop and claim to be a dog trainer with fake reviews, fake experience and worrying enough fake qualifications to become a dog trainer. so i thought, hey i want to get the right experience because if i don't i could do more damage then good.

So, my news is, i have the right to shadow a local dog trainer with qualifications in dog training, i called her up and we spoke a little bit about dogs, and what we felt about dog training and we were singing from the same sheet basically, so on Thursday night i will be attending a dog training class to spectate on how she trains puppy's.

the news does not end there. i actually called a lot of dog kennels in the area as-well and i said the following " Hi my name is Steven Perry, I was enquiring about any volunteering positions you may have available, i want to become a dog trainer but know anyone can be, but want to gain the right enough experiance to sit my courses and what not" most said no due to the fact if i take anything the said person done the wrong way and applied them myself he/she could be responsible.....

which is bull crap they just don't want me getting a free lesson even though Jack wouldn't be there.

so on Monday
i have an interview with a dog kennels and i am looking to volunteer,

also a friend of mine mentioned her brother is looking to train dogs with the police and the police are open for people to come along and attend a course, so i am looking at this too.

so i get to attend dog training classes to take notes and observe this woman in person and i might have a volunteering job cleaning out kennels and walking dogs. i am really excited i really am.

right now my confidence is not very high with dogs so this can only be a good thing, but the key thing is not to show fearfulness in front of the dogs. because if they pick up on that, it could cause lasting damage to said dog. but i know a bit about dog body language and when and when not to approach a dog when it is giving off warning signals, dogs do not just snap. and will give off warning signals to the human. it's all about building trust.

wish me luck

fuckers:)
