Dog Trainer Training

Dog Trainer/training message boards?

I'm going to be attending school this coming January in Hutto TX to become a dog trainer. I'm wondering if there are any websites that have active message boards/forums dealing with the schools or students/graduates?

I've looked all over the net & still haven't found anything where current, future or past students attending any sort of dog trainer school, class, workshop can get together & converse & share stories, tips etc...

Does anyone know if a site like this exists?

I don't know of any specific boards relating to Triple Crown, but there are lots and lots of great trainer forums and boards out there.

I doubt you'll find anything that's specific to graduates of a particular program unless it's sponsored specifically by that program, just because it's such a niche audience. For example, I'd bet that Karen Pryor's Academy has a list but that it'd be restricted to people currently enrolled or graduated from the program. You could ask Triple Crown if they have any such list.

Additionally, there are lists for other membership organizations, for example Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT) has a list for their members. Dog trainers certified the CCPDT as Certified Pet Dog Trainers (CPDT) can join the CPDT list. Attendees of the Clicker Expo, a fabulous multi-day conference held a few times a year in various parts of the country, are invited to join the ClickerExpo group that extends discussion on topics from the conference.

So basically, these are just a few examples that I've personally taken part in so the kind of thing you're looking for is definitely out there, but it'll be easier to find them as you get more exposure.

As a budding trainer, I'd suggest a membership to APDT (Association of Pet Dog Trainers) where you can have access to their very active list as well as the quarterly (?) publication Chronicle of the Dog.

Good luck!
