Will AI replace Animal Trainers?

Why this score

AI-driven behavior analysis tools and automated training protocols are already replacing portions of an animal trainer's assessment and progress-tracking work. Scheduling, client communication, and standardized obedience drills are being handled by apps and smart devices that deliver timed reinforcement cues without a human present. The physical, hands-on correction work and real-time reading of animal body language remain hard to automate, but the economic incentive for pet care businesses to cut labor costs with technology is strong. If your value proposition stops at basic obedience training, how long before a smart collar and an app do your job for the average pet owner?
