The creation of my dog trainer resume began with a thorough search of who to select as my main teacher. The well known master dog training teachers include: John Rogerson, Karen Pryor, Ian Dunbar, Patricia Mcconnell, Turid Rugaas, and Linda Tellington, to name a few. Positive reinforcement dog training is a blanket term. Numerous master trainers are teaching positive reinforcement dog training. Each master trainer has their own style. Therefore, each local trainer will have their own style depending on who that local trainer studied with.
After an extensive search of interviewing working dog trainers, I selected John Rogerson as my principal dog training resume teacher. Some local dog trainers elect to study with several master trainers; taking a little bit here and a little bit there. I chose to start with one mentor. The value in selecting one school of thought as the primary perspective is that it presents clarity in the local dog trainer’s teaching style. After numerous years of studying John Rogerson’s dog training method, I began to branch out and study other teachers including Patricia McConnell, Professor of zoology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Dog training is interpretation. Traits of a good dog trainer are intelligence and being socially perceptive because the majority of the dog trainer’s skill is interpreting the behavior of dogs. The dog can not talk and dog trainers are interpreting reasons behind why a dog acts in a certain way. Each client presents with unique behavioral problems. A good dog trainer has to be able to think laterally because a client’s behavioral problems will not be the same as the textbook example. The dog trainer has to be able to draw on how his system of knowledge can be applied to a client’s unique behavioral problem.
