Professional Canine Behavior Training Track
Go Beyond Obedience. Develop the Skills to Understand Challenging Dogs.
Six specialized online courses taught by Peggy Swager
Understand the Behavior Behind the Behavior
Challenging dogs require more than a collection of obedience commands.
Peggy Swager’s courses focus on understanding the reasons behind difficult canine behaviors and developing thoughtful training strategies.
Throughout these courses, students explore:
- Behavioral science: Understand how fear, learning, triggers, and instinctive drives influence behavior.
- Desensitization and counter-conditioning: Develop knowledge of techniques used to modify fear-related responses.
- Practical training approaches: Explore relationship-based control training, motivation, and proactive behavior modification.
- Real-world cases: Learn from training examples involving fearful, reactive, and difficult dogs.
- Specialized behavior problems: Examine challenges involving livestock chasing, poultry predation, unwanted guarding, and other drive-related responses.
The emphasis is on understanding behavior and teaching alternative responses rather than relying on shock collars, dominance techniques, or punishment.
Expand your knowledge. Strengthen your skills. Become better prepared to work with challenging dogs.
Some dogs need more than traditional obedience training. Fearful dogs, reactive dogs, dogs with difficult personalities, and dogs displaying unwanted predatory behaviors present challenges that require deeper behavioral knowledge.
Peggy Swager’s Professional Canine Behavior Training Track brings together six specialized courses to help trainers understand the underlying causes of difficult behaviors and develop practical, proactive training approaches.
Whether you’re an established professional dog trainer or expanding your education in canine behavior modification, this track offers a structured way to build your knowledge.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be a professional dog trainer?
The courses are especially relevant to professional trainers, but experienced dog owners with established training skills may also benefit. The advanced courses assume familiarity with training principles.

No. Students can enroll in individual courses or choose a series bundle. The complete track provides a structured learning pathway.
Is there a prerequisite for Out-of-Control Dogs Part 2?
