What a professional trainer is
Additional inspection
It will be interesting and useful for you to know why person
becomes a professional trainer and what the reasons for such
choice?
Maybe he was brought up in the
family which members were dog fanciers?
Or participated in dog
competitions and tests and as a consequence chose right this
profession?
Or read a book and decided to
become a trainer?
Eventually, the most important: what is the real reason for this
his occupation-love for dogs or money?
You won’t be likely to get a definite answer to the last question
but the shades may say about many things.
There are many preceding experiences influencing the choice of
training profession. And before making a professional trainer the
person was:
- In apprenticeship with a professional trainer;
- In employment of a Kennel where gained necessary
experience;
- In military service where learned to handle dogs;
- A member of war dog training club;
- On the cops and in service of K-9
- Good at the learning on his own by reading relevant
books, watching taped films, etc. (the most undesirable
variant!).
- These are the most popular reasons.
Each of the methods has advantages and disadvantages and none
may be considered the best one. Each method helps a future trainer
to get own point of view about everything and, if you will, own
philosophy that, however, must be flexible and not transform into
a dead pattern.
For example, there are big distinctions between the dogs trained
for military or police service and those trained for protection of
house and family. Of course, it is the same the technique to be
applied for training, but a domestic dog is to be taught to be in
contact with matchlessly more number of people that military or
police dog.
In order to live in family a dog should know that spoiling of
houseplants and biting of shoes are bad actions. In the military
and police such problems are absent. It is better to train a
domestic dog at home-at its “workplace”, so to say. Over and
above, an owner himself must undergo training together with his
dog.
It is necessary to make sure that the trainer of your dog should
prepare the dog for real live situations, which may happen any
time but not for sporting events. Though some kinds of
competitions involve the same training methods that used during
training of the dog for personal safety, the application of these
methods is different in fact.
You are unlikely to want to spend your money for your dog’s
performance only in athletic field. Yes, the dog will be
well-trained but this education is too specific: it will rather
respond to outfit and equipment meant for competitions than to a
person. It is not accessible for a good guard dog.
A trainer is obliged to present his license to you. If some doubts
are casting upon this document you should inquire appropriate
organizations of it. But if the trainer stands against your
attending of training ground, he is not a professional.
Expansiveness is an obligatory quality of true trainer.
