Requires licensure of dog trainers.

This bill, S 67 (the "Dog Trainer Licensing Act"), requires anyone who charges for dog training services to obtain a state license. It directly affects professional dog trainers who work for pay, including those offering group classes, private sessions, or client consultations. Key provisions include mandatory 300 hours of supervised training (with specific requirements for group/private instruction), a competency exam, or proof of existing certification (like CCPDT), and oversight by a newly created Dog Trainer Board of Examiners. The board will manage licensing, set standards, and enforce disciplinary actions for violations. The bill is currently pending in the Senate Commerce Committee.
