    You don’t need any certain qualifications. You just need to have experience and be good at it.

    Have you been teaching classes for awhile? Do you have a reputation in your area? If no, then do some volunteer training at the club where you take classes.

    IMO, the trainers with certifications tend to be the worst ones. They mean nothing to me. Knowledge and experience are what really matter.

    The only “qualifications” out there are those handed out by private organizations who have set themselves up as the “deciders” and yoou get to pay them money. And a “certificate” from them is meaningless among people who train for competition/performance and breed the quality dogs whom they sell to people and make recommendations about their training.

    Get out with your dogs and compete in AKC competions.

    Finish many dogs to their AKC performance title – particuarly at the top levels

    Join your local kennel club or training club and get involved – sooner or later, they need someone to volunteer to teach one of the classes at the ower level

    Start here to find any and all clubs in your area

    Once you are a member of a club, teaching with them and winning in the ring, then you are a professional. After that, you have to decide how to market your training business.
