Dog Trainers Network is a professional dog trainer career training program that started in Montreal, Canada. According to its official website, it was founded in 1999 and is one of the longer-running professional Dog Training Instructor Programs in Canada. It is designed for people who want to become dog trainers, can be studied regardless of location, and serves regions including Canada and the United States.
The program is divided into two levels: Level 1 is Behaviour Comprehension, lasting about 3–4 months, and is mainly completed through video conferences, PowerPoint lessons, and behavioral analysis of video clips; Level 2 is Training Fundamentals, lasting about 3–5 months, and can be taken via video conference or in person at the Vaudreuil-Dorion location in Quebec. The official website emphasizes one-on-one instruction, with sessions lasting about 1.5–2 hours and scheduled around the student’s availability. After graduation, students may also choose continuing education specializations such as scent detection, search and rescue, agility, service dogs, obedience training, police dogs, and more.
The official website does not publish specific tuition fees, stating only that costs depend on the selected course and that payment plans are available. Students can receive a certificate after completing Level 1 and Level 2. The FAQ says the certificate is “recognized anywhere in the world,” but the page does not specify any third-party accrediting body, industry association endorsement, or concrete certification standards, so the practical value of the certificate should be further verified before applying.
Its strengths include a relatively long operating history, coverage of canine behavior, training fundamentals, and animal behavior, as well as bilingual English/French instruction, one-on-one teaching, and a fairly flexible learning pace. A more distinctive feature is its lifetime post-graduation support network, including branding, digital marketing, lead referrals, ongoing guidance, and a “business in a box” startup solution, which may suit those who want to become self-employed. The drawbacks are limited pricing transparency and limited disclosure of individual instructor backgrounds, detailed course syllabi, and assessment standards; the in-person location is concentrated in Quebec, and the practical training experience for remote students may depend on their own circumstances.
It is suitable for people who want to change careers, enter the pet industry, start a dog training business, or work in settings such as pet stores, shelters, kennels, and veterinary clinics. Applicants need to be seriously committed and are typically expected to be over 18, have a dog or access to dogs, have transportation, internet access, and be able to use English or French. Access from mainland China cannot be determined from the scraped text alone, so actual access testing is recommended.
