Dog Training Is People Training

If you want to help dogs, you’ve got to go through their people.

Most people become dog trainers because they love dogs. Some even joke that they chose the profession because they’d rather work with dogs than humans.

But as Dr. Ian Dunbar explains, pet dog training is fundamentally different from training your own dog for work or competition. You aren’t there to do all the training yourself. Your job is to teach someone else how to train the dog they live with every day.

And that means being good with dogs is only half the job.

The Dog Is Only Half the Job

A great pet-dog trainer has to understand behavior on both ends of the leash.

You need to know how to explain what you want owners to do, demonstrate it clearly, motivate them to practice, troubleshoot when things go wrong, and help them change their own behavior along with their dog’s.

That idea—people training—runs throughout Day 1 of the SIRIUS Dog Trainer Academy, as Ian explores the skills that allow professional trainers to make a bigger impact: teaching clients, motivating people, promoting your services, running classes, and building a sustainable dog-training business.

And Day 1 is only part of the Academy. The complete program includes four full days with Dr. Ian Dunbar, covering people training and business, behavior counseling, adult dog training, and puppy training—plus downloadable eBooks and Behavior Blueprints and footage of Ian teaching a complete 5-week puppy class.
