Bringing Out the Best in the Dog
Our expert trainers will help you learn how to work with the dog, not against them. To do this, you will learn the concepts behind efficient training and the fundamentals of conditioning, and then apply your knowledge by training with a variety of dogs. By the end of the course, you will understand how a dog “pack” works, which will give you an advantage in training basic and advanced obedience skills. Plus, you’ll learn how to use the equipment necessary in training service, protection and tracking dogs – all necessary in bringing out the best in your canine.
Diagnosing Training Problems
Not all training will go smoothly, that’s why the Dog Trainer College helps you see any problems and finds a plan to overcome them. You will learn to identify canine behaviors and signals so you can recognize a problem that may also be a type of canine aggression. Socializing and house-training puppies is key to avoiding long-term behavioral issues, which is why socialization is a big focus of the master trainer program. Plus, you will use training aids and learn both the proper and improper use of them to help you correct bad behavior, allowing you to remedy disobedience and move forward with effective training.
Learning About Breeds
Each dog breed has inherent differences, including nutrition, personality, skill and health. In the master trainer program, you will learn how best to meet different breeds’ needs by learning about their anatomy, health issues and genetics. Different canines require adjusted training techniques and unique approaches to make them a successful dog for your purposes. Dog Trainer College will help you understand how to select dogs and puppies to best match the duties that you’re training them for.
Establishing Your Own Business
To create a successful dog training business, you will need to know how to manage a healthy, clean kennel, effectively answer your clients’ questions, and install and operate a productive puppy training program. Enrolling in the master trainer program will teach you more than just how to work with dogs, but also how to manage your own operation, including utilizing various advertising and marketing options to promote the type of training you would like to offer to your clients. Plus, you’ll also learn all the ins-and-outs of establishing and setting up your new business.
