Haven't updated this in awhile because I have been pretty busy and its going to get busier. Its a good thing. Back in May I started a correspondence course to learn dog training.
The book part of the course is done and now I have to spend some time volunteering at the Humane Society, which is cool by me. Maybe a dog will get adopted instead of put down because of my effort.
After I have completed 10 hours of volunteering I have to complete 21 weeks of internship. They say this can be done in as little as 7 weeks. I'm not sure yet what is involved, but I know I have to go work with a certified dog trainer.
I have also hooked up with a local dog trainer named Liz Diver. Liz has a bachelors degree, has worked at the San Diego Wild Animal Park, spent many years as a vet tech and training animals of numerous species. Liz also owns "Animal Answers." Shes asked me to consider becoming a partner and I'm thinking about it.
About Me
- Jerry
- I retired from USAF after 22 years 8 months 10 days. Since then I have owned 2 businesses, photography and outdoor retail. Now I simply enjoy life and volunteer with Search and Rescue, local photo club and Audubon. I recently enrolled in Animal Behavior College. The course actually starts May 11. I'm looking forward to learning everything I can about training dogs and helping them cope with their humans.
