Know Your Dog - Online Learning Hub

Puppy Essentials is a course for dog guardians and professionals alike, to learn essential information and life skills which will help puppies and adolescents grow in to more resilient adult dogs.

You won't find obedience-type content or 'typical training' here, but instead, things that everyone caring for a young dog should know - but often don't. Because of this, this course will compliment anything you are currently doing in regards to training your puppy. It can be taken as a stand-alone course, or you can do this alongside any classes/private sessions you might be attending.

This course has been put together by a Certified Canine Behaviourist and content follows the latest understanding in behavioural science. There are no assessments during this course. You have access for one year from the date of enrolment.
