"Should I even try?" is a question only you can answer.
At the very least you probably should get some significant, practical, "hands-on" experience working with other dogs and their owners first, from somewhere. Petsmart trainer etc could be one option. Another way might be to volunteer at a local club to assist with their public classes.
IMO it's best to have something to "hang on the wall", as well. ie: diploma(s), trainer certification(s), memberships for organizations, titles & ribbons, related personal achievements, perhaps even a framed picture of you shaking hands with Pavlov or Darwin lol, whatever ....
Actually, walls are nice to have, too.
If you decide to go for it, I hope it works out for you.
Best wishes.
