Definitely not one that I would go to. What organization is doing the certification? APDT? Have you ever trained a dog and earned any obedience titles on it? What experience do you have besides the 8 weeks of training you are taking? If you are in it just for the money, find a new career choice. I belong to a dog training club and instuct there, FOR FREE. Why? Because I enjoy it. I started taking classes to teach my own dogs and decided I would enjoy helping others teach their dogs to be better family members. I teach beginners and the next level up. As for pay rate, if you make more than $8 to $10 an hour for teaching at Petsmart, I'd be surprised.
