Dog Obedience Trainer - a distance learning course by BSY An owner often enrolls his dog to obedience classes as a last effort before giving the dog up, and an owner's largest mistake is misunderstanding canine communication. Identifying the behaviours of dogs and reactions to us and their environment, we can eliminate most, if not all, of their behavioural problems. The course delivers the knowledge demanded to become a professional Dog Obedience Trainer, but it is also applicable to any dog owner who would like to encourage good canine behaviour within his own household. Learn the requirements of effective obedience training, for both owners and dogs. Students will finish this course with an understanding of the principles that underpin motivation and how to work with groups, the student will then learn how to design appropriate training programmes.
