I have been looking into some dog training schools and would appreciate any info experienced dog trainers can provide.

As I see it so far:

Animal Behaviour College:
Least expensive
Good overview of material
Can take grooming & training (more info)
practical part is based on a mentor who may or may not be what you are looking for (this is where I see most complaints)

Karan Pryor Academy:
More in depth knowledge
More expensive
Only 8 days with a trainer?

Ben Kersen & The Wonderdogs:
Seems outdated
Have 3 full months of full time hands on
Need to incur travel costs
Only accredited training school

Michael Ellis:
2 weeks hands on
travel costs
appreciate and intensive
Seems up to date

Any suggestions? Thoughts?

Thank you

I want to mention that a lot of trainers are telling me to just get out there but I am having a hard time getting into the industry so want to increase my knowledge and experience by attending a course.
Thank you for the stars, I really hope to get some answers.

If there are other schools I should be looking at please share.
I am in Canada.
I have been doing work and fostering for a local rescue.

This is not a fly by night decision, I am leaving a very good paying job of 6 years doing admin work to make a major career change. I want the best preperation I can to move into this industry.
