Читать книгу Careers with Dogs - Kim Campbell Thornton - Страница 52

Continuing education is important in every career, including dog training. Expect to devote at least a couple of weeks each year to attending conferences and seminars in this interesting field. You will always learn something that will help you with your clients, both canine and human.

“I read and ‘talk dogs’ with as many professionals as I can in as many fields of training as I can,” Kim Toepfer says. “I am especially interested in finding unique solutions to problems, and I always find some gem in any conversation I have or book I read.”

READ EVERYTHING

“Read everything you can, even if you think it’s not your style. It is important to educate yourself on the full range of dog training before you develop a style. There are times when you will rely on some tidbit you picked up from an unlikely source.”

—Kim Toepfer, dog trainer
