What You'll Learn
|
The CCS Professional Dog Training, Behaviour & Aggression Therapy Career Course Consists Of Three Modules:
1. Professional Dog Training Module The Professional Dog Training module will teach you how to train dogs using scientifically proven and positive methods designed to protect the dog’s temperament and emotional wellbeing. You will learn how to create new behaviours using the latest up-to-date dog training techniques and put them on cue through a wide variety dog training protocols including; luring, capturing, targeting and shaping techniques. It will also teach you how to run professional dog training classes and solve dog-training problems. |
2. Professional Canine Behaviour Therapy Upgrade Module
You will encounter puppies and dogs in your classes and private consultations with an array of behaviour problems. Professional dog training is not just about putting behaviours on cue, it also involves helping your clients overcome behavioral issues. There is rarely a class that I teach where I’m not asked about at least one dog behaviour problem.
A good dog trainer is not only skilful at training dogs but is also well versed in canine behaviour, problem prevention, early intervention, behaviour and aggression rehabilitation solutions. The CCS Professional Canine Behaviour Therapy course prepares you to answer all of your client’s questions and help solve all of their canine behaviour problems.

3. Professional Canine Aggression Therapy Upgrade Module
Fear is the cause of most dog bites and unless we nurture confidence through positive dog training and socialization by the end of the socialization period, fearful dogs are likely to grow into anti-social, reactive and/or aggressive dogs. By understanding canine fear, aggression and reactivity, we can intervene and turn these potentially aggressive dogs into well trained dogs with resiliency and confident temperaments.
Many dog trainers choose not to work with aggressive dogs but instead refer these dogs to other trainers. This is perfectly acceptable however, every professional dog trainer should understand canine behaviour, fear, aggression and behaviour modification in order to prevent dog fear, dog aggression and dog reactivity and effectively intervene in its early stages. The CCS Professional Canine Aggression Therapy course teaches you about understanding, identification, prevention, intervention and rehabilitation, and for those who choose to work with aggressive dogs, how to keep everyone safe while helping our clients nurture trust and new behaviours in their dogs.

“The CCS referral incentive program is the awesome cherry on top of the sundae! I completed the CCS course a number of years ago and it has allowed me to pursue the career of my dreams, I'm always talking everyone's ears off about how much I love what I do. One of my friends recently decided to enrol in CCS as well as she would like to get started on her own dog training career. Within hours of her signing up for the program, I was contacted about receiving a referral bonus and $100 was in my account within 24 hours. Not only do I get to watch my friend become another wonderful dog trainer, but I got an added little reward too! Cheers to positive reinforcement!”

“My experience with the CCS program was so great that I tell everyone I know about it anyways, but getting paid to do it is the icing on the cake. As a mentor trainer, I get paid for referrals and Norma Jeanne always sends it to me the day the student registers for the course.”

“I highly recommend Canine Correspondence Studies. CCS is very thorough and complete for any future dog trainer to have what you need to start out right and with confidence. The CCS referral program is wonderful as well. As a mentor trainer I received $125 the same day, which I donated back to the one I referred. I am very pleased with the process and will refer in the future.” Leah Morse, CTB.ccs, IPDTA-CDT – Owner of Trinity K9

"I have always been a strong advocate for Norma Jeanne's Canine Correspondence Studies program. I would tell anyone interested in a career with dogs to look into it. It was a pleasant surprise when I was recently contacted and told, a client I referred had just signed up for the course. Because I'm a CCS Mentor Trainer and have a link to her website, Norma Jeanne sent me a referral gift right away. Thanks Norma Jeanne!”
