I completed the 10 week Principles of Dog Training & Behaviour course in early summer 2021. For my role as a kennel assistant in a rescue centre it has given me a better understanding of how and why certain things happen with dogs, but more importantly how to deal with issues because I gained a clearer understanding of the more scientific aspect behind some behaviours. There is a good balance of theory and practical work and the assignments made me explore and study in my own time. Would highly recommend the course to anyone with an interest in dogs, particularly anyone who wishes to work with them. Through a combination of theoretical learning and practical exercises, participants will gain insight into dog psychology, behaviour modification strategies, and the principles of positive reinforcement training.
