How to develop and teach a 6 week dog group class for Trainers…in 7 weeks.
Purpose: To teach beginning or novice group dog trainers a formatted dog group class experience that can be adapted for indoor and outdoor environments.
Course Information: The Six Week Group Class For Trainers course is designed to outline a specific progression for teaching group dog training clients the basic skill set their dogs need to learn before any advanced training — therapy, service, sports, other. The format can be followed exactly or adapted by more experienced trainers.
There are 7 lessons in this course. Each lesson has a quiz and a homework assignment. You will be expected to complete all of the assignments. Some of the homework will be video homework (i.e., you will video your assignment and send the video over the internet to be graded). You will take the lessons at your own speed but must complete the course within 6 months of registration. This course can be completed 100% online. Successful completion will result in a Certificate.
