Creates New Jersey Dog Trainer Licensure Board.

This bill establishes the New Jersey Dog Trainer Licensure Board within the Division of Consumer Affairs to regulate professionals who train dogs for compensation. It requires dog trainers and behavior consultants to obtain a license by completing an approved certification program that prohibits aversive training methods (such as fear- or pain-inducing techniques) and mandates 36 hours of continuing education every three years. The board, composed of nine members including licensed trainers, a veterinarian, and consumer representatives, will oversee licensing and enforce standards. Exemptions cover military K-9 training, law enforcement work, and kennel club services provided exclusively to members.
