I added a starter external links section. I'm mostly familiar with some exotic animal and pet dog organizations. Re: Moorpark's EATM, I have no affiliation with them whatsoever, but they are very well known and one of the first recommendations you can hear from many people in the field of exotics.

I would like to edit the paragraphs on Dog Training and the Horse Training including modified citations and more extensive details on training methods that can be applied to horses and dogs. Mccassell —Preceding undated comment added 14:56, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
Should this entry be changed from animal trainer to animal training? Compare with running, hiking, skiing, etc., where activities and occupations are the primary listing, rather than the noun which refers to a practictioner. However, contrast with entries such as corporate trainer, but note that the activity (verb) and the practitioner (noun) are not exactly parallel: doing animal training vs. doing corporate training the latter refers to being the subject of the activity, rather than the doer, whereas the former refers to the doer. Opting for animal training thus probably makes more consistent
Also I would opt for animal training also because the article could easily be more encyclopedically useful with technical information on the specifics of variants of the method of animal training. Santaduck 11:19, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
UPDATE: moved, and all double redirects fixed
For future convenience, because I think at some point we'll want to change all the piped [[animal training|animal trainer]] back: to find all links that say "animal trainer" but are now piped to animal training, see Special:Contributions/Santaduck from 20:44, 20 January 2006 to 21:04, 20 January 2006.
Finished a whole host of additional information, new sections, and resource links. Also finished moving from animal trainer to animal training.
The reorganization into various sections is tentative. I'm not an expert in dog, zoo, equestrian, avian areas, so my section titles or even their hierarchy of organizations may need to be changed by a knowledgeable expert.
I've added starter text for most of the new sections, but these are very much stubs, so that relevant experts have some text to bounce off of. Santaduck 22:06, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
I deleted the section on puppy training under the "Methods" heading. It was inappropriate for an encyclopedic article as it was completely out of context and this information is already covered under the dog training article.
If this guy hadn't been killed by a bear, we'd have never heard of him. I think that including him in this list diminishes more serious entries, so he should be removed. Unless, being killed by the animals you're training is sufficient, in which case this list could be increased. Bob98133 ( talk) 13:11, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Hello! I would like to add some more information to the definition of animal training and add some more information and citations to the section. Would that be okay? Aprilmarie124 ( talk) 19:02, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
Thank you! Yes, I would like your guidance in editing it. I'll give it a shot and you can tell me what you think. Aprilmarie124 ( talk) 17:21, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
It is remarkable (and this may be an observation from a televised circus) that circus dogs act much like the Big Cats except for not suggesting the menace. Dogs have the power, speed, strength, agility, and intelligence of the Big Cats but no indication of menace. (Dogs are in fact dangerous predators, but they simply behave much better and are more likely to get people to back down before any trouble erupts). While the Big Cats are undeniably awesome, dogs can be played for humor. If a tiger can jump through a flaming hoop, then so can a dog which can do everything that a tiger can do except kill and eat people. Dog acts are done for laughs. (It's my suspicion that the dog act is made to remind people of the Big Cat acts, as such is done after the Big Cat acts). Oddly cats, which are for all practical purposes miniature tigers or leopards, don't do as well as dogs in acting like Big Cats. Dogs do what Big Cats do in a circus acts out of an apparent desire to do so. (Maybe they have seen the Big Cat acts and imitate what they see). Cats can refuse to do such and get away with it.
