The Academy for Dog Trainers
encourages those wishing to develop their dog-handling skills to apply for this award winning course.
WHAT WE EXPECT
Since our course is provided online, you must be competent at navigating websites, as well as at recording and uploading videos. You must also have a good Internet connection and a phone or digital camera to make films.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
A major component of the program involves obedience1 training for fearful and unsociable dogs. You’ll learn about genetics, dog breeds and how to market a dog training business. Our course also covers managing aggression in dogs, a skill which is typically ignored in other courses.
HOW YOU PROGRESS
Our program usually takes two years and is divided into four levels. You’ll have six months to complete each of them. If you find you’re flying through the material and we are satisfied with your training skills, you can advance to the next level sooner. You must demonstrate you’ve achieved the required standard before you progress to the next level.
WHAT WE REQUIRE
You must submit videos that demonstrate your skills in training specific behaviours and pass the knowledge test for each level. In the event that you fail the test, you will not be able to continue in the program. If this happens before the third level, 50% of the course fee is refundable. Otherwise, the full amount you have paid for the course is kept by the Academy.
HOW MUCH WE CHARGE
To be considered for the course, you must pay a $75 non-refundable application fee. The standard course fee is $8,500, made up of an initial payment of $3,500 upon registration, followed by $5,000 to be paid after two months. The course fee is lowered to $7,500 if the whole sum is pre-paid before the course starts.
