Common Behaviour Problems, Creating Training Plans & Peer Training
Students will explore common struggles of canine adolescence and learn how to develop training plans to effectively change behaviour through positive reinforcement. Students will learn signs to recognize and manage behaviours that are incompatible with service dog success, and factors at play when releasing a dog in training from service work. Students will develop skills to work with the human end of the leash, both in individual and group settings. This course will be used to assess students’ skills and techniques in instructing private and group training sessions and mentoring 1st year students. Students will also gain experience in evaluating a dog’s progress and suitability for service dog work.
