Our Behaviour Course is designed in such a way that can be either undertaken in 4 separate Modules, which allows you both time and financial flexability, or the course can also be done in its entirity. Each Module that is successfully completed will gain you Certification for that particular Module - this is an added bonus if you want the skills, but do not want to become an actual Canine Behaviourist. Each Module contains Practical sections and Comprehensive Theory. Case Studies and Role Play included. Mentoring after you qualify and so much more.
