Dog Trainer Certification
Dog Trainer Certification
The Dog Trainer Professional program is designed for motivated students who are familiar with and have hands-on experience in clicker training or other marker-based, positive reinforcement methods — whether you've been training your own dog, are already working as a trainer and are ready to earn your certification, or come from a veterinary, shelter, or animal care background. The course includes personalized instruction and coaching from some of the best teachers in the field.
The 6-month Regional Format blends online learning with hands-on instruction. The program includes four online Units, each followed by a two-day in-person workshop. After finishing each online Unit, you will attend the corresponding workshop.
