---

The massive growth of the pet industry has allowed many business opportunities to open up. And with its $47 Billion revenue industry-wide, many entrepreneurs and business professionals are seriously considering the industry as one of the most profitable ones.

Pet behavioral counselor is one of the newer venture available in the industry and is growing rapidly especially ever since the introduction of the popular show Dog Whisperer. Being a new venture with a relatively little practitioner, the earning potential is also higher than most industries.

Predicted to grow more than 27% in the next ten years, this is the right time to enter the business. And here are a few tips to help get you started.

1. Startup Investment
To start, you'll need an education and certification from Animal Behavior Institute (www.animaledu.com/) or similar organization, which will be one of your main investments. The tuition cost for a certification will be around $6,000. If you plan to rent an office, you will also need to consider it as a startup cost, as well as the renovation cost needed.

2. Licenses and Permits
Required licenses and permits in addition to your certification will vary depending on your location. Consult your local authorities to get more information regarding required permits.

3. Time Investment
As a precautionary advice, beware that you will need to put in long hours. Not only for the required education but to take emergency cases during your practice. However, if you have the passion for animals, this sacrifice will be absolutely worth it. Not only this business provides you more intimate relationships with pets, but will also provide you with more than a decent earning.

4. Marketing
Your best bet to build a reputation is to build networks and relationships with a local veterinarian. Most of your clients will come through veterinarian's recommendations. During your certification course, you will also assist many pet owners, which might be your potential clients in the future. Building an online presence can also be a good idea, provided you can build enough social media exposure. For example, you can start a blog regarding pets' behaviors. The more readers you have, the more probability of them converting to a client.

5. Career
Opening an independent pet behavior clinic might be your goal, but starting as a service worker can be a great start. The animal related industry is expected to grow more than 15% annually in job vacancy. Look for opportunities and consider your options to get the best possible start for your business.

Earning Potential

Pet behavior counselor typically charge per consultation, and each consultation can range from $80 per visit to more than $200 per visit. This can easily translate to more than $50,000 in annual earning. Top pet counselor can earn more than $50 hourly, which is astonishingly high even across all industries.

As the animal industry predicted to grow even more rapidly for the next years to come, it is an excellent opportunity to consider a career in the pet industry. Many expansion possibilities are also available, such as opening your own clinic, increasing the potential earning exponentially.
