What Will You Learn?

The eight-module canine training course is packed with essential information on dog training and behaviour. We teach you how to communicate with, work with, and understand dogs and what exactly they're trying to say.

This accredited course is split into eight accessible units, packed with easy-to-follow guidance and practical techniques you can apply straight away. You’ll explore:

  • How dogs learn and why positive reinforcement works best.

  • How to observe canine body language and respond calmly and effectively.

  • The importance of consistency, timing, and reward in training dogs.

  • Puppy training, development, and early socialisation.

  • How to manage common behavioural issues without fear or force

You’ll also gain a better understanding of how dogs communicate their needs, and how many so-called "bad behaviours" are often just signs of confusion or unmet needs.

Learn by Watching: Video Tutorials

Theory is important, but nothing beats seeing training in action. That’s why this Dog Training Diploma includes professional video demonstrations to guide you step-by-step through:

  • Clicker training

  • Targeting, luring, and capturing behaviour

  • Basic handling skills

  • Teaching commands like "wait", "watch me", and "walk to heel"

These videos make it easier to practice with your own dog and grow your confidence as you learn.

Build a Future in Dog Training

If you’re thinking about making a living from your skills, this dog training certification can help get you started. You’ll be introduced to the basics of starting your own dog training business, including:

  • Creating a business plan.

  • Marketing your services.

  • Managing bookings and clients.

  • Legal considerations every trainer should know.

This course is perfect if you're exploring how to be a dog trainer or want to offer your skills to your local community. Learn at your own pace, from home, with full support and certification upon completion.

This course is for educational and professional development purposes only. While this course provides a strong foundation in positive reinforcement and handling skills, if you are dealing with aggression, reactivity, or a hard-to-manage dog, seek guidance from a qualified professional trainer or behaviourist.

 

Please note that audio courses do not include certification.

Who Would Benefit from This Course?

Whether you're looking to train your own dog or build a career around helping others, this course is a brilliant starting point:

  • Dog owners who want to understand and communicate better with their pets.

  • Aspiring dog trainers looking for a foundation to begin a dog training career.

  • Pet professionals who want to expand their services with practical training knowledge.

  • Animal lovers considering a new path in a rewarding, dog-focused profession.

  • Volunteers or shelter workers who want to support dogs with behavioural challenges.

  • Those studying related topics like canine nutrition, behaviour and holistic therapy, who want to complement their learning.
