What do you need to become a guide dog trainer?

Guide dog training is different from any other kind of training dog. Typical candidates for positions training guide dogs have a college degree in a related field, such as animal behavior. They then spend a three-year apprenticeship with a guide dog school before becoming a full-fledged guide dog trainer/instructor. The field is extremely competitive. San Francisco State University recently started a masters degree program in Guide Dog Mobility. That is an excellent way to get in the field, but it too is extremely competitive. Basically, though, you need to be an animal lover, not OCD but relaxed and laid back, you need to like people and be comfortable around people with multiple disabilities Experience with dogs and blind people also helps. You can get involved with puppy raising or volunteering with a guide dog school.
