Course Overview
Becoming a dog trainer is not an easy task. It is rooted in life-long learning about dogs, their biology, and the continuing study of dog and human interaction. What is below, along with the two textbooks for this course, “How to Train a Puppy You Can Live With,” and “Fetching the Perfect Dog Trainer” will provide clear and concise guidelines.
However, this course requires 100 hours of facetime interaction with a certified instructor in addition to a capstone project, which is developed mutually between the instructor and the student. Full dedication to this course and a commitment to the human animal bond is the only prerequisite – but it is a demanding prerequisite. Come ready to work, and we will get you through it!
