If you already spend weekends with dogs, this turns it into work. You learn breeds, behaviour, obedience training, grooming and canine first aid. Subjects run at your own speed, tutors six days a week.
Anatomy, breed groups, senses and how a dog reads you.
Conditioning, clicker work, recall, heeling and problem behaviours.
Client forms, hygiene and consultation sit in the later subjects.
Dog work runs through training yards, grooming rooms, daycares and rescue kennels. A day is handling, coats, sessions and owners who need advice.
Run obedience sessions for owners and their dogs.
Bath, clip and finish dogs by breed and coat.
Run a boarding or daycare floor and its staff.
Settle and retrain dogs waiting for a home.
Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Employers set their own hiring rules. Some ask for hands on hours first.
Know the dog first, then health, then training, then the work.
Three things that shape this one.
Three subjects on psychology, from conditioning to separation anxiety.
Coat types, tools, bathing and breed cuts sit inside the course.
Parasites, vaccination schedules and emergency care are covered.
