Question 1

Do I need any prior experience with dogs to join ?

Accepted Answer

No , all the courses are suitable for anyone with a love of dogs. We take you through everything every step of the way. We have had several experienced dog trainers take the course to learn our methods and to work with shelter dogs more.

Question 2

What kind of dogs will I work with during the course ?

Accepted Answer

All the dogs will be from the shelter. There will be a mixture of abled and disabled dogs for you to choose from. Large dogs or small dogs. Our priority is always safety so we won't put you with dogs that are a risk.

Question 3

What Skills will I learn in the training ?

Accepted Answer

We will teach obedience skills that are commonly required by our clients, so leash walking , sit, stay, lay down and a recall.Then there will be things more for fun like a spin. We use the agility equipment to build confidence, but also to teach the students lessons and principles of dog training.

Question 4

How long is the course and can I choose a shorter or longer duration ?

Accepted Answer

The courses are 2-6 weeks. We can't do shorter than 2 weeks as there would be no time to teach what we need you to know. You of course can stay longer than 6 weeks if that was your wish. There is always something to learn as a dog trainer.

Question 5

Can I bring my own dog to the course ?

Accepted Answer

This may be possible but its something we would need to discuss individually.
