Whether you want to understand the dog on your couch or work with dogs every day, this bundle was built for both. You learn how dogs think, why they do what they do, and how training works, online at your own pace.
Why the barking, the pulling on the lead, the nerves at the front door. You learn how dogs think and communicate, and how to work with fear, stress and anxiety. Training gets easier once you know what your dog is telling you.
Daycare, shelters, boarding, grooming, training classes. This course builds the skills those jobs run on: reading behaviour, safe handling, and working with clients and their dogs.
A one-on-one mentor with industry experience, tutor help by phone and email on weekdays, and live chat 7 days a week. Study at your own pace, retake assessments when you need to, and keep lifetime access.
Skills like these get used anywhere dogs do: daycare and boarding, shelters and rescues, grooming salons, training classes and dog walking. The work is easy to picture: settling a nervous new arrival, running a puppy class, walking your regulars.
Running classes and one-on-one sessions, teaching owners as much as their dogs. The training and behaviour skills this course builds, used every day.
Your own clients, your own hours. Behaviour assessments, training plans, and working with owners: the professional side is built into the course.
Helping shelter dogs settle, learn, and show their best side to the families coming through.
From pet care tech to running the facility. Reading behaviour and safe handling matter all day in daycare and boarding.
A small business you can start with the skills here: reading dogs well, handling them safely, and keeping their people confident in you.
Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every role is different, and some need more study or experience. Specialist handler work, like service, therapy or detection dogs, takes extra training on top.
Twenty-five topics across the main course, plus two full bonus courses.
Here is what stands out in this bundle.
Dog Psychology, Behaviour & Training, plus bonus Animal Welfare and Pet Care courses, both hosted by Dr Kate Adams of Bondi Vet. One enrolment covers all three.
Puppy development, socialisation, behaviour problems, and how working dogs are trained. The course runs from the foundations of canine psychology through to behaviour modification and professional practice.
Instant access when you enrol, video lessons on demand, and access that never runs out. Come back to the material whenever you need it, long after you finish.

The lead goes slack, the barking makes sense, and someone asks if you train dogs for a living. If you can see it, start the conversation.
