About this episode
New York State had proposed a new law requiring dog trainers to be licensed — and it could change dog training forever. In this video, I explain exactly what the NY dog trainer license law means, who it applies to, when it takes effect, and how it could impact professional dog trainers, aspiring trainers, and dog owners across the state. The law has not passed and likely won't BUT here's some info on it! If you’re a dog trainer in New York, thinking about becoming one, or you own a dog and work with trainers, you need to understand this law. We’ll cover the licensing requirements, potential costs, enforcement, and why this could be a big deal for the entire dog training industry — not just in NY, but nationwide. NY residents should contact their State Legislators. Let their Senator and Assemblymember know they oppose S.7723 and A.6985. Urge them to reject unnecessary regulation that would eliminate consumer choice and harm the training profession.
