Course overview
An owner will often bring his dog to obedience classes as a last resort before giving the dog away, and his biggest mistake is to misunderstand canine communication. Once we can recognise the reactions and behaviours of dogs we can eliminate most, if not all, of their problems. The course is designed to provide the knowledge required to become a professional Dog Obedience Trainer, but is also well-suited to any dog owner who would like to encourage good canine behaviour within his own household. The student will learn the requirements of effective obedience training, for handlers and dogs alike. Having understood the principles of motivation and how to work with groups, the student will then learn how to construct appropriate training programmes.
