Phase 1 (Home Study)
This provides you with an opportunity to research training methods, theories and dog trainer and instructor roles. As part of your learning journey for phase one you’re required to conduct secondary research via the internet, books and other sources such as DVD’s and journals on specific methods used for dog training and the control of dogs. Basic anatomy and physiology of how learning takes place is also covered.
Phase 2 (Home Study)
During this phase, we discusses the various skills required to successfully run dog training classes. We look at breed and types of dog and the assessment of temperaments within the class environment. Creating session plans and training programmes are covered in preparation for putting into practice on the next phase, the workshop.
