❓ Quick FAQ

How is this different from other certification programs?

Most certification programs hand you a stack of videos and wish you luck. Western States K9 College is different. We don’t just give you information — we give you transformation.

You’ll work one-on-one with real mentors, train using case studies from 10,000+ dogs, and walk away not just knowing how to train — but knowing how to build a business doing it. Our program is mentorship-based, results-driven, and designed to launch you into the top 10% of trainers in the industry.

We don’t accept everyone, and we don’t lower the bar. That’s what makes this certification stand out — and why it works.

❓What if I have zero business experience?

You don’t need to start with business experience — that’s our job to teach you.

Inside the program, we walk you step-by-step through how to:

  • Build your brand

  • Set your pricing

  • Attract high-paying clients

  • Deliver results that get referrals

You’ll get direct coaching on sales, marketing, and client delivery. Most of our grads had no prior business background — but they now run profitable dog training businesses that allow them to leave jobs they hated, set their own schedule, and work with dogs full-time.

❓Can I join if I already work full time?

Yes — we designed this program to be rigorous but flexible. Most of our students have full-time jobs or families when they begin.

The curriculum is 100% online and self-paced, and you’ll have lifetime access to the training materials. You can attend live classes and coaching calls or watch recordings on your schedule. As long as you’re willing to put in the work consistently, this program can fit around your existing responsibilities.

In fact, many students start on nights and weekends — and within 6–12 months, they’ve replaced their job income entirely.
