Course description

Do you believe that helping dogs is your calling and that you feel inspired to make a difference in the world? Would you like an enjoyable and fulfilling job that doesn't feel like work that lets you help dogs and pay the bills at the same time? Or would you simply like to have proven dog training methods to train your own dog? If you replied ‘yes’ to any of these questions, then you are in the right place! This course has been designed for people who have a desire to become professional dog trainers and for dog lovers who want to work with dogs. It is also suitable for those who already work in the dog industry and would like to advance their dog trainer knowledge or for people who would like to learn more about dogs so that they can best support their own pet at home.

This free course focuses on empowering you with the knowledge, confidence and dog training methods that you need to start your dog training business. It also teaches you how to communicate with dogs in a language they understand and how to resolve unwanted canine behaviours. Discover how to stop a dog from jumping up, how to communicate that you are in charge during feeding time and what best to do to stop food aggression and stealing food. Also included is how to resolve separation anxiety, which stops dogs from barking, chewing, panting and pacing when left alone. You'll also find out the answers to ten of the most common puppy and dog training questions so that you know exactly what to say and do when your client is having difficulty with one or more of these problems.

Additionally, you'll learn how to professionally run a dog training business and what to include in a dog training consultation with a client. The course gives you suggestions on how to respond if you don't know the answer to a question and still look knowledgeable, as well as what to do if you forget to tell your customer something during a consultation and still look professional. You will also learn how to leave a dog training consultation on an upbeat and positive note, ensuring your customer is happy with the information and service they’ve received. During the course you are given step-by-step guidance on how to write confirmation and agreements letters, with templates for you to tweak specifically to your business. By the end of this free course you will have the dog training knowledge, confidence and dog training methods you need in order to start your dog training business and will be able to perform dog training techniques that are easy to do and provide great benefits and results.
