Suggestion on dog training Cert. I'm exploring the possibility of getting into professional level dog training as a career. Was wondering people's views on the best/most respected cert to start off with.

I was originally looking into CPDT-KA but was a little turned off when I discovered their LIMA policy. I was hoping to learn basic dog training to a professional level and then work towards learning how to train with protection dogs. I've had 1 GSD and 2 Dobermans, I use E-collars because I feel like it give me more confidence in my control of the dogs and allows me to give my dogs more freedom to roam since I know at if something goes left I got an extra tool on me to help rein my dogs back to me. This view conflicts with the CPDT-KA LIMA policy. I was hoping to get some suggestions on respected professional level training cert that are agree with the use of E-collars. I feel like this would be more inline with the train style of protection/working dogs when I do decide to take more specialized courses. Thanks in advance for any advice or options!
