Learn the basics of dog training with our Digital Membership!
In addition to offering our 7-week Certification Program, we have launched an affordable Digital Membership through The Canine Coach School for Trainers. This membership offers maximum flexibility to learn on your own schedule. Now, anyone in the world can get an inside look into our highly-effective, science-based approach to dog training while also learning the intricacies of dog behavior and how to effectively use positive reinforcement and clear communication to build strong bonds between humans and dogs.
Who is the digital membership for? How can it benefit me?
We created a digital membership because we care about cultivating the next generation of dog trainers and providing resources and support for professionals who work with dogs every day.
EVERYDAY DOG LOVERS
No experience required! Whether you're interested in exploring a career in the dog industry or looking to build a stronger bond with your own dog, your membership is for you!
VET TECHS & GROOMERS
Whether you're in school or working in the industry, you'll learn dog behavior and training skills to make your work with dogs safer and easier while also boosting your resume.
DOG PROFESSIONALS
If you already work with dogs as a trainer, walker, or sitter, our membership can help expand your offerings, hone your skills, and help you land more clients.
