Curriculum
These courses are dedicated to results! Courses of study cover the following topics with an extremely heavy emphasis on hands on practical approach to learning. Dog training is a physical skill. You will learn by doing it from day one. Efforts have been made to limit classroom/ lecture time because our experience has shown us that although lectures make for knowledgeable dog trainers only hands on experience makes for knowledgeable and skilled dog trainers.
