Dog Trainer & Business Owner
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, "Overall employment of animal care and service workers is projected to grow 16 percent from 2022 to 2032, much faster than the average for all occupations. When viewing the BLS site, remember that the salary for a dog trainer who works as an employee can differ greatly compared to a dog trainer who also owns his/her own business!
A career as a dog trainer involves working closely with dogs and their owners to cultivate obedience, correct behavioral issues, and sometimes even train for specialized tasks. Trainers use a combination of positive reinforcement techniques, patience, and understanding of canine behavior to achieve desired results. Dog trainers play a pivotal role in enhancing the bond between dogs and their human companions.
