Canine Behaviour Training

Understanding how dogs feel, whether they’re scared, anxious, over-excited, or relaxed, is essential, even if you live with just one dog. It becomes even more important if you care for other people’s pets in any setting.

This dog behaviour course provides a comprehensive introduction to their behaviour, exploring the evolution of dogs, their place in human life, and how their brains and bodies function. You’ll be introduced to modern, reward-based training principles and learn how to better respond to your dog’s needs. You will be given proven methods of dog communication, training, and explore how to live a relaxed life with your own dogs.

This dog behaviour course gives you a comprehensive introduction to canine behaviour, exploring the evolution of dogs, their place in human life, and how their brains and bodies work. You'll be introduced to modern, reward-based training principles and learn how to respond better to your dog's needs. You'll be shown well-established methods of dog communication and training, and explore how to live a relaxed life with your own dogs.

Our course will give you a greater understanding of dog training and behaviour-management methods. You'll learn how these methods became common practice, and how they affect the dog. You'll be able to recognise key body language, gestures and signals, and discover how your own body language and reactions can sometimes misrepresent what you're trying to communicate to your dog.

You will also learn the best dog training methods and how to spot classic behavioural problems. Explore the ways dogs communicate, what calming signals are, and how their emotional and physiological states (such as adrenaline release) affect behaviour. You’ll also gain a better understanding of aggression in dogs and what might trigger it.

By studying this dog behaviour course, you can:

• Develop greater awareness of how dogs communicate through body language and signals.
• Explore how human behaviour and reactions influence dog behaviour.
• Learn humane, non-clinical approaches to training and behaviour management.
• Understand common challenges in domestic dog behaviour from an educational perspective.

This course is for educational and Continuing Professional Development (CPD) purposes only. It doesn't provide a veterinary or clinical behaviour qualification and doesn't permit clinical diagnosis or treatment. Behaviour problems, and especially aggression, can be complex and carry real safety risks, so anything beyond everyday, reward-based training should be referred to a vet and a suitably qualified clinical animal behaviourist. If you go on to work with other people's dogs, we recommend gaining practical experience and appropriate insurance, and always rule out underlying pain or illness with a vet.

This course is ideal for all dog lovers.

Written by a canine behaviour specialist with over 15 years of experience in the field, and backed up by scientific knowledge, this canine behaviour course can help to change your life and your relationship with any dog that you come into contact with.

This online course is ideal for those who have a dog or those who work with dogs in any capacity and want to understand and improve their relationships with their furry companion.
