Answer: There aren't any exact qualifications as far as schooling, but animal trainers or show trainers often have a bachelor's degree in some animal or biology related science field, for example zoology, biology, chemistry, botany, or psychology.
To prepare for a science related college studies, it would be good to take biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics courses during high school.
Also it's helpful to start volunteer work, or or get an entry-level position, in some zoo, animal park, or even a clinic to get familiar with animal care.
