How to Become a Dog Trainer Louisiana

Steps

  1. Consider what kind of service dog organization you want to work for. Some schools only raiser guide dogs, others only raise service dogs. Some do both.
  2. Search for schools near you (some listed below)
  3. Carefully consider if you can provide what a puppy-in-training needs. Although they are allowed public access in most areas, puppies-in-training require a lot of care, attention, and love.
  4. Call the organization you are considering raising for, and follow their steps

Tips

  • Guide and Service dog organizations vary on their rules and regulations. Find out the details before you get committed!

Warnings

  • Raising a guide or service dog is not for everyone! It does require a lot of time and effort. At the end of the ten to fourteen months you have the dog, you will most likely have to give it back to the school for advanced training. This is the goal of puppy raisers, but is a very very hard thing to do.
