Training and Behavior

Training and pet-behavior counseling rank among the most essential types of pet-related careers because they help ensure that dogs, cats, and other animals can stay with their families for life—not just until they get to be annoying. Understanding why animals do the things they do is the essence of ethology—the study of animal behavior—but pet behaviorists and trainers must also study and communicate with the human animal to succeed in this field. There are many different opportunities in the field of animal behavior and training, from consulting with pet owners and teaching obedience classes to training guide and service dogs.
