The date has been set for another offering of DOGS: Training, Behavior, and Health at Greenville Technical College! This is a unique offering for aspiring dog trainers, those in allied professions such as veterinarians, veterinary assistants, shelter/rescue professionals and fosters, and anyone who wants to understand our canine friends’ behavior in depth. Take the first step by enrolling in this fun, informative course which combines academics, including ethology and learning theory, with hands-on experience. Successful completion of the class gives participants all they need to know to pass the academic portion of the exam given by the Certification Council of Professional Dog Trainers (ccpdt.org). In addition, students get a start on the experience required for certification as a Certified Professional Dog Trainer. The course begins Monday, March 16, 2009. Classes will be held Monday and Friday 6-8pm, and Saturday 9am-1pm, for 8 weeks. Contact Mira@TailLightsDogs.com for a course syllabus.
I’m truly excited to be part of this pioneering effort by Greenville Tech in conjunction with the Association of Pet Dog Trainers. Greenville Technical College is the Upstate’s quality educational institution, offering excellence locally and globally.
