Applicants for this course must have successfully completed the Puppy Training & Basic Obedience (modules 1-8 inclusive) and have a Dog Training qualification from Natural Balance Dog Training Academy.

Modules 1-4 of this course will discuss basic dog psychology and address how dogs think differently from humans and what this means in terms of how they behave towards us and towards each other. We will concentrate on canine communication methods, the concept of Pack Leadership plus how and what it means to actually achieve this position. The course will also reveal the different drives and motivations apparent in a dog’s “personality” and teach you how to assess each dog (and owner!) as an individual. You will learn about canine nutrition and how different breeds have different exercise and training requirements. Finally, we will look at the most common dog behaviour problems which occur both inside and outside the home and discuss why these issues arise and how to resolve them.

Modules 5-8 concentrate on giving you the necessary skills to become a fully qualified Canine Behaviour Counsellor so that you can go on to work in this field. You will learn how to be a good listener and teacher to your clients and how to deal with the most difficult of individuals – both dogs and their owners!
