Then there was and the people who work hard for their titles, study and learn – and there are others who simply buy a title. And then there are still the people who lead a title in utter naivety, which officially doesn’t exist: Diploma animal psychologist. The professions of dog trainers, animal psychologist, animal healer, animal therapist are not recognized in the German-speaking world.
