At e-Training for Dogs we are extremely pleased to be able to offer a comprehensive educational program to assist dog enthusiasts to develop the knowledge and skills to provide exceptional care for their canine partners.
Prerequisites: A basic knowledge of dogs as well as enthusiasm and interest in providing the best possible care for your canine partner.
Purpose: This Diploma is designed for breeders, dog professionals or individuals interested in enhancing their knowledge of the health and care dogs. Emphasis will be on nutrition, physical conditioning, emergency care, and holistic care.
General Diploma Information: Individuals who are passionate about improving their care of their own dogs or desire to be able to offer useful nutrition and fitness advise to their clients would greatly benefit from this unique program. You will explore key areas such as: anatomy and physiology, disease states, physical development, fitness, injury prevention and care, the impact of nutrition and how to provide optimal nutrition throughout the lifespan of your dog, complementary therapies, how to provide emergency care.
Please note: This is not an “email” or “mail order” Certificate. Though it is available 100% over the internet, this is a very “hands on” program when required. Skills learned must be demonstrated by video submissions to your instructors. (NOTE: Not all courses require videos). Other courses will require you to develop business and marketing plans, your own dog training classes, and more. This is an intensive program and you will need to demonstrate your learning. The power of the internet allows sending videos as homework and final exams easy and effective. We are the first and only school that adheres to these strict measures and our students are respected as a result. We also do more than train you how to use a clicker. We provide the theory behind the skills to our students.
