Basic Training Course for Professional Dog Trainers
I. Course Overview
The Basic Training Course for Professional Dog Trainers is led by professional dog trainers certified by both Hong Kong and international organizations. The course begins with the basics of canine cognition, behavioral logic, and emotional interpretation, and progressively teaches participants to understand dog behavior, interpret body language, and assess a dog’s mental state.
The course not only teaches standard obedience training techniques but also focuses on correcting common behavioral issues in family dogs, socialization training for puppies, providing owners with guidance on training at home, and the logic behind human-dog interaction and communication. Throughout the program, theory is combined with real-life case demonstrations, case analysis, and simulation exercises, enabling participants to not only “train dogs” but also “diagnose problems, develop customized solutions, and guide owners.”
II. Target Audience
