This course is a basic fundamental to canine behaviour. Every prospective dog trainer needs to have a profound knowledge of canine behaviour. This course is a mixture of distant learning and face to face practical assessment.

Helen will provide you with a course pack. In this pack you have a set of written assignments to complete. There is no time limit to complete these assignments, this is a self paced study to fit around your other commitments. Once you have submitted and passed the written assignments, you will arrange with Helen to complete the practical assessments. These will be done at a location to suit both parties with dogs of Helen’s choice.

Option for dog owners, not those in the industry, complete the theory and no need for practical assessment. The theory test is also multiple choice.

Course cost: £500 for industry professionals and £350 for dog owners.
