community college lets everyone in. So don't worry about that, only state schools and other schools have standards.

Question: How do I??

I'm 16 and starting 11th grade this year and I want to be a dog obedience trainer/behaviorist. How do I go about doing this?? Is there a class I can get a head start in while I'm still in High School? I am eligible for dual credit (taking colleges courses during the summer) this year at Brookhaven community college. Is there a class I could take there? I live in Dallas, TX. Please help!!

If you become a trainer/behaviorist, you will most likely be self-employed. Take as many business and accounting/book-keeping classes as you can. The taxes, permits,and paperwork is a nightmare, if no one has taught you how. I know from bitter experience!
