Animal Behavior College
Professional Dog Trainer , Animal Behaviour , 2008 — 2009
The Animal Behavior College (ABC) Obedience Instructor Training Program is designed to provide it’s students with the knowledge necessary to teach dog owners the skills required to humanely and effectively train their own dogs. The Animal Behavior College Obedience Instructor Training Program curriculum emphasizes the understanding of canine problems as well as solutions using techniques based on decades of experience. This same experience has taught us that while it is important to understand the motivations behind a dog's behavior, exceptional obedience instructors must have a myriad of behavioral solutions at their disposal. Finally, we have endeavored to provide students with the tools that will allow them to become an effective communicator and teacher.
- Activities and Societies:
- Animal Behavior Colleges comprehensive curriculum is 11 stages long and expands over 800 pages. The first stages of the curriculum gives a strong foundation of academic and theoretical knowledge about dogs. Once a strong foundation has been established, students will be given the authorization to observe and participate in dog training sessions being taught by Mentor Trainers.
