Trainer

Most greyhound trainers commence their involvement as a hobby and develop their skills, with many of them making the transition from part-time to full-time once they are established with regular winners.

In order to become a trainer you must pass both a written exam as well as a practical test to show you have the knowledge and experience required to prepare canines for racing. In addition to passing the written and practical tests you must have suitable kennelling facilities for your racedogs, either at your home, property or at a rented facility.

Greyhounds don’t take holidays so it is a genuine full-time role, but the financial rewards for successful trainers can be very attractive.
