what should I look for in a dog training/behavior school?

I love cesar millans techniques and I dont want to do anything that he calls using human psychology on a dog. So with that in mind what should I look for in a dog training school? Is there a difference between dog psychology and dog training or is that all one in the same?

How an i train my dog without paying for training schools?

Basically its our first dog and no one has any idea of training techniques. We taught him to sit just by saying sit and pushing him down and to go to bed by saying bed and lifting him into it as he is a small dog. But other stuff like ‘heel’ and getting him to stop pulling on the lead is difficult, Any ideas???

Comparison of dog training schools (ABC vs. KPA vs. Ben Kersen vs. Michael Ellis)?

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Seems outdated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.

Dog training schools?

I think I’ve decided that I want to become a dog trainer, and I’m trying to find a school around the Nebraska area, but I can’t seem to find anything, i would love to travel somewhere else for the few weeks that you have to go through training, but I don’t know if that would be possible. If i could, i would be interested in looking somewhere in San Diego, CA or New York City. If anyone has any information, that would be great! I appreciate it!!
