Dog Training Career Path


When I first met Lloyd, he showed me his dog training pyramid. The pyramid explains the careeer path of a dog trainer, as well as shows how many real Dog Behavior Consultants or Dog Behaviorists are out there (hint: not many!). I designed this for Lloyd's web site, but I thought you might like to have a look-see. I'm only 1/2 way through level 1.

Speaking of the pyramid, it is too bad that Lloyd's years of experience doesn't pyramid into a BOOK. I have urged him to do so. The dogs will miss out if he doesn't!

I have known him since 1967. I trained with him until about 1971. My first dog was no picnic either, an unsocialized German Shepherd who eventually earned his Open degree....

Kidos to you for apprenticeship.

And "no" you do not want to go back to New England and get dog training.... I live here and they show me nothing compared to Lloyd's class.
