Own your own business
Part of what makes the ABC program unique is our Business Building module. The Business Building module was written by Mr. Steven Appelbaum who started his own dog training company in 1980 by hanging home made flyers on supermarket bulletin boards and fourteen years later owned the largest dog training company in North America employing over 500 trainers in five provinces and forty-three states in the U.S.

In this module, Steve will explain in simple step by step fashion how to create, manage, market, and succeed in a business of your own, small or large.

Steve and all of us at ABC understand that most people dream of being their own boss and owning their own business by establishing a dog traning career. Unfortunately, this dream is beyond the reach of many because of the cost involved in purchasing or building a business. While this is true in most professions, it is not true for professional dog trainers. For trainers, there is little start up cost to create a business of your own. You will learn how to start your own dog training company for as little as several hundred dollars from someone who has "walked the walk". Enjoy the freedom of making your own hours and being in control of your own destiny.

With ABC learn to be a great trainer and a savvy business owner. Let Steve share his secrets with you!

Unlimited Income in a Career you Enjoy

Professional dog trainers have the opportunity to earn a significant amount of money while working with animals and helping people. For many, this represents the best of all possible worlds. Imagine being able to make a great living while doing something you love. What's more, there is tremendous opportunity.

Consider the fact the 1999-2000 National Pet Owners Survey by the American Pet Products Manufacturing Association (APPMA), estimates there are approximately 62,400,000 owned dogs in the United States and the pet business is a multi-billion dollar industry.

Professional dog trainers are in a unique position since nearly no overhead cost is needed to start a dog training business. Aside from schooling, what determines success is your knowledge and skill. It is for this reason that the ABC program is so valuable, especially when professional trainers can earn up to $150 per hour, depending on experience and location.

Great Part-Time Income
Professional Trainers can use their knowledge and skill as a way of helping people and their pets while earning significantly more than the average part time job. This makes the ABC program especially valuable for college students or anyone in need of additional income without having to work long hours on top of your already existing responsibilities. Nationally, most part time jobs pay between $8.50 and $12.00 per hour. Compare this to trainers earning an average of $20 per hour. What's more, you can do something you love.

While no school for animal careers can guarantee you employment, ABC can guarantee you assistance due to our one of a kind relationships in this industry and over twenty-six years experience in the dog training field.

So if you are considering a career change or just want to earn extra income, let us help you become a dog trainer. For more information about our dog training school feel free to contact us.
