3 CEU Dog Handler Academy’s Dog Handler to Day Trainer Course - CEU List

The Dog Handler to Day Trainer Course provides an introduction to basic obedience dog training for the experienced dog handler employee. Dog Handler to Day Trainer Course topics include: tools (treats and rewards, treat pouches, training leashes, collars, hand signals), building trust and becoming a resource, creating attachment (coercion, scent, affirmation, and sculpting behaviors), vocabulary and commands (name, good, anh-anh, come, find it, wait), and applications (training outside, training pet parents and pet family, jumpers). At the end of this course, the learner must submit a video to Dog Handler Academy showing him/her as the trainer with a dog, demonstrating these skills from the course: walking the dog, calling the dog’s name, giving treats along the walk; loose leash walking (without using the dog’s name); the “wait” command (e.g., at a door with the dog waiting to go through until asked by the trainer); the “anh-anh” command and taking a half step into the dog’s personal space for spatial pressure. The business or individual who purchases the course also receives access to a series of videos and ideas to create (or improve) your dog day training or dog school program.
