Question about dog training school??

[PACSUN]

I have a question? I am looking into becoming a dog trainer for therapeutic purposes, and I was wondering how to get trained or certified to become a therapy dog trainer? There is a college I have been looking into called Animal Behavior College. Has anyone heard of this college before? If so, is it legit? How do I make sure it is a legitimate school? Are there any other ways to become a therapy dog trainer? I'd like to do this as a profession. I mean, I'll still train dogs not for therapeutic purposes, but I want to mainly concentrate on the dogs used for therapy.

Thank you for your help,

I am skeptical of that one dog training sight.
I would contact the Special need dog providers and see who they recomend.
This link is canine companions.

I was suprised to see such a small list of sights providing professional
dog training.
But try the people that provide the dogs to the blind, and other special companion animals.

Thank you Billnew! I checked out that website, and sent them an email about what I am looking for. Hopefully they'll get back to me soon! So you think Animal Behavior College is not legitimate? I've talked with someone from there. I was actually going to have my parents talk with the person I talked with to see what they think since they are paying for it!

Anyone else have any information? It's very much wanted and very much appreciated!!!
