| Online Class: Dog Expert (Advanced) | Having completed the previous courses students no doubt have a good understanding of dog behavior, some training insight, and enough first aid knowledge to assist in a number of emergencies. In this Advanced Course, we will primarily be learning the tricks of the trade of an animal behaviorist, working with pound puppies , and introduction to Therapy and Service Dogs. Also a glimpse into the life of a Professional Show handler/Judge. General dog care for the show dog and family pet will be included. The goals of this course are to move the student closer to working with their own dogs, or in the pet industry. Students will gain general care knowledge, behavior training for rescued animals, and insights into the show arena. Students completing this course will be able to utilize the knowledge they have gained from the combination of the 3 courses to successfully open a pet sitting business, train their own dogs, and handle some emergency medical care. Students will get a look into how a behaviorist assesses dogs and the varying approaches for working with phobic or aggressive dogs. Students will gain useful knowledge no matter what their association with dogs.
