Lesson 5 - video 3

Antonio Johnson

Animal trainers need a high school diploma or equivalent but some jobs in animal training require advanced skills and a bachelor's degree. For people who want to be mammal trainers, you'll need a bachelor's degree in biology, marine biology, or a related field of study. An animal health technician degree can also enhance your chances at employment opportunities. Equine trainers gain experience by working as groomers but are there some private training schools where they could learn their trade. Dog trainers can attend workshops and take courses at community colleges or vocational schools. Caretakers at zoos need experience with animals and a bachelor's degree in biology, animal science, or related fields. Pet groomers participate in apprenticeships where they work with experienced groomers or they can learn their craft at a state-licensed grooming school program. Caretakers in animal shelters don't need to have special training but can attend training and workshops through the American Humane Association and the Animal Control Association.

Animal service professionals can receive certification, giving them an advantage when it comes to employment opportunities.
