Enrolling in this course will reveal the depth of knowledge and skills needed to understand dog psychology and training, which are essential for anyone seeking a career working with dogs. This course is perfect for those with a strong passion for dogs who are interested in starting a professional canine career.
You'll learn how to confidently communicate with dogs by understanding their thought processes and learning behaviours. You'll also delve into common behavioural problems and disorders, and develop positive training approaches to tackle them. With essential knowledge on different dog breeds, their anatomy, physiology, and brain and hormonal systems, you'll progress through each module and explore professional dog obedience training techniques such as the Koehler method, motivational training, and clicker training.
This course teaches you how to apply these techniques to correct problem behaviours such as chewing, jumping, barking, and other destructive behaviours. You'll be amazed at how much there is to learn about dog psychology and training and how crucial this knowledge is when embarking on a professional canine career. The course opens up many rewarding animal careers, such as working as a dog trainer, animal welfare specialist, pet sitter, or dog groomer.

The final assessment serves as a comprehensive evaluation of the knowledge and skills acquired in this Certificate.
The assessment consists of 40 short-answer questions. These questions aim to gauge your your ability to apply knowledge and techniques learned throughout the modules. Your responses will be submitted to the course mentor for grading and constructive feedback.
Consider the following 3 example questions:
- Your dog stops barking at the school bus that drives past every morning. This is an example of what kind of non-associative learning?
- The nervous system is made up of the central and peripheral nervous systems. What are each of those components made up of?
- If your dog constantly whines to get your attention, what steps can you take to correct it?
