How To Be a Cat and Dog Therapistby Suzann Kale
If you love animals, have an entrepreneurial spirit, and know how to market yourself to get clients, here's a career to consider: being a therapist - for cats and dogs! Your job will consist of helping people to:
Much of this is similar to traditional cat or dog training. The main difference is that the cat and dog therapist seeks to discover what the underlying situation is, before making any changes. A trainer works with an animal's outward behavior. The cat and dog therapist discovers what's going on the pet's head, what the pet is feeling, and why - and then helping the pet owners to solve the problem. continued below |

As a pet therapist, you may get calls from people who merely want to know what their animal is thinking! How can you possibly know what they're thinking? Learn cat and dog behavior by volunteering at the local shelter, by training and getting a job as a veterinary technician, by being part of your town's animal rescue team, or by working in a zoo or sanctuary if there's one near you. During this time, you'll want to observe carefully and take notes. 
The best pet therapists study for many years before offering their services. You want to truly make the lives of pets and pet owners happier. You don't want to just hang a shingle and start charging. If you're a veterinarian and you're thinking of retiring - going into the pet therapy business might be the perfect way to keep an income stream. Cat therapist Carole C. Wilbourn, author of Cat Talk: What Your Cat Is Trying To Tell You, The Inner Cat, and Cats On the Couch, started her practice by partnering with a veterinarian. She worked in the vet clinic for many years before writing her books. Her work is impeccable. She watches and observes details that even the best cat owner might miss. She knows what every little flick of the tail means, and she can tell the cat owner what the problem is and how to fix it. If you're interested in being a cat or dog therapist, I suggest you start by reading Ms. Wilbourn's book Cat Talk, and then see if you can develop a relationship with your vet - even if it's just to observe and take notes.  This article was inspired by Carole Wilbourn's Cat Talk book. Links of Interest
