This course gives students the knowledge and hands on practical training to work with dogs through a variety of different game outlets such as spring pole, flirt pole, tug, ball, etc.

Tools of the trade can be the most controversial aspect of dog training.  We understand why! Having diversity in training is essential but flat out abuse - is NOT part of that equation.  Students will learn the proper way to use a variety of tools that will aid them in training that could even lead to saving the life of a dog.  Having high quality tools is essential, we will cover brand options as well.  Learning ethical and proper techniques is vital to the wellbeing of our industry, the dog and the owner.

If you choose to use these tools without taking our course we will ask for an in person  demonstration and videos of finished dogs in order to maintain an certification with WCCA.  

We DO NOT condone the improper use of any tools and feel it is a conflict of WCCA rules in ethics.
