I would highly recommend Norma Jeanne Laurette, and the CCS program. The course gave me a strong foundation in up to date, scientifically reinforced information about canine behaviour and learning. Throughout the course, Norma Jeanne gave me on going support. When it came time to set up my own training business, Norma Jeanne went the extra mile and advised me on many aspects of running my business. I would really like to thank Norma Jeanne for her dedication and support to me as a student and her continued support as one of her graduates. When I took her course I never realized I'd be joining a team of trainers all dedicated to improving dog's lives in a unique and collaborative way. Thank you Norma Jeanne!

I was working full time when I took the CCS course and had no problem! That’s a great thing about Norma Jeanne’s course – you can go at your own pace so you can work on it when you have time. I do have my own business and run classes currently. I also still work full time in another job too. Areas that were most beneficial – the behaviour part – what’s normal, what’s not, how to read the body language, how to prevent aggression. There was sooo much great info it’s hard to pin point one thing. I also use her handouts for my clients and refer to them often for consults or problems with my own pup’s. I also use her manual – both of these are great so you don’t have to research and write your own material. Her course was the best thing I’ve done. Not only because I enjoy training, but because it has helped with my own dogs immensely! I have nothing but great things to say about the course! Carrie Cleghorn – K9 Fear Be Gone - Kitchener, Ontario, Canada

Norma Jeanne, Thank-you so much for all of your, kindness, encouragement, helpfulness, understanding and support throughout the years. Without you I would not have had the knowledge and confidence to open and run a successful dog daycare business for over 5 years! You are wonderful. Thanks again for EVERYTHING! Kirsandra Newell (& Raven) Caring for Canines - Cambridge, Ontario

Thank you for all that you have done in my life - all the support, encouragement and exhortation that you have put into it. Thank you! I will keep in touch." Sydney Drakes - Hastings, Barbados

The CCS course was great. It was challenging and interesting and definitely informative! A lot of excellent material presented in a logical manner and in easily understood terms. The manuals are thorough and offer a lot of cross-referencing and repetition where needed to make learning easier and more engrained – and the videos will give you what you need. I reference the course material often when presented with a problem or a question from a client.

Another invaluable aspect of the course is the support of Norma Jeanne long after you have graduated. I have graduated and I can still always count on a very helpful response from Norma Jeanne when I run into a quandary or get a special situation that I'm not sure how to handle. She is always there for me. I know that Norma Jeanne is still constantly working on upgrading and bettering the course that she offers. From my perspective, another reason to consider her course is this ongoing commitment to her work and the obvious pride she takes in it.

Thank you, Norma Jeanne, not for only convincing me that this course is perfect for me, but for opening my eyes and letting me look over the fence. Thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU!!! Cheryl Becker, Oshawa, Ontario.

Taking Norma Jeanne's program was by far one of the best decisions I have made. The many videos and manuals of information are very thorough and interesting! The course really prepares you to be a training instructor/ behaviour consultant. I have, thanks to Norma Jeanne, started my own successful dog training business and am loving every minute of it! Norma Jeanne is a very supportive, patient and knowledgeable teacher. She has an answer or explanation for everything! Norma Jeanne is always available to answer any questions I might have. I am very thankful for NJ and her patience, understanding, constant support and great sense of humour! Jennifer Reed - Leader of the Pack - Touch-free Dog Training, Guelph, Ontario

Compassion, kindness, insight and intuitiveness are a few adjectives that come to mind when I think of Norma Jeanne and her course. She opens up a whole new world of training and knowledge for her students and clients alike. She is never too busy or tired to answer questions or help with a problem when asked. A great teacher and mentor. Thank you Norma Jeanne. Jo-Anne Strang - Positive Affects Dog Training & Behaviour, Windsor, Ontario

I wish to thank you Norma Jeanne for all the support you have given me. Thanks for putting up with all my questions and answering them so thoughtfully. Your course is an excellent introduction to the world of Dog Behaviour and Training. What sets this course apart? - Its use of gentle yet effective methods to train and treat behavior problems. You kept up to date on all the latest techniques and passed them on to myself and the other students. The literature and information I collected throughout the course will prove an invaluable reference as I move on. The quizzes were good in helping me assimilate all of this valuable information. I especially liked the questions which involved behavior problem scenarios where I had the opportunity to develop a behavior modification plan. The hands on experience through mentoring helped me to develop my teaching abilities. You were supportive throughout the course and provided helpful, positive feedback. This course has given me confidence and know-how to go out and start my own business. You are an excellent role model and if I can apply myself as you have, I know I will be successful. Thanks for giving me a chance to make my dreams come true." Tamara McFarland - Halifax, New Brunswick

Dear Norma Jeanne; What you taught me goes way beyond dog training. Because of you I now believe that I can do almost anything and for that I am grateful. Thank you for everything. Ginny Campbell - Super Paws, Belleville, Ontario

I received my first package a week and a half ago, and have almost gotten all the way through it! That's the great thing about correspondence; I don't feel pressured at all! So far, the manuals and video are GREAT! I have to say, I thought I knew quite a bit about behaviour and learning techniques, and am already learning new stuff. I really like your "hands-free" approach to the training. Your classes look like they are a lot of fun for both the dogs and owners. I wish that I had classes here like that to attend with my young dog. I'm definitely happy with your course materials. I particularly like the videos, as they are an excellent reference to have on-hand. Down the road, when I'm ready to teach classes, I know that I will be referring to them often as you've provided excellent examples of class situations. I know on completion, that I will be very prepared for classes and that you will be there to answer any questions that come up." Allison Brown, Kamloops, British Columbia.

This comes with great thanks for everything you have done for me, as well as your continuous support and motivation. If it weren't for you, and your course, I never would have caught the bug and began this successful business. Kim Barrett - Kim's Happy Endings Training, Daycare and Boarding Kitchener, Ontario

Thank you again for a fabulous experience; your course has left me with a renewed sense of purpose where my job is concerned.... and eager to develop my canine training techniques! Many dog people know by instinct what works and what doesn't.... You taught me why it works and why it doesn't. This foundation for Canine Training and Behavioral Therapy has found immediate and beneficial application to the CFIA's Detector Dog Training Program. My canine confidence has increased tenfold.... thanks again!" Alexis Seraj, National Travelers' Program Assistant Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) Guelph, Ontario

Thanks Norma Jeanne! We really did learn a lot. We are very excited about starting our own business and are well on the way to making that happen. If you are ever in the area we would love to meet you in person and show you our facility. Thank you for the link to IPDTA. It is an organization we were planning on joining and thank you again for such a well put together, thought out course. We are looking forward to using the email groups and your expertise. Kristine and Allan Marshall - Calgary, Alberta

In December of 2002, I began taking Norma Jeanne’s course to further my own development and knowledge, and was immediately impressed by the in-depth thoroughness of this program. For many years I read books and watched videos but never found a program that covered every aspect of behavour and training, like Norma Jeanne's program. She has taught me so much since our first meeting and I continue to learn from her. To this day, she continues to guide & support my every endeavor. Norma Jeanne's kindness and knowledge is indescribable. Sylvia Gottschalk - Delightful Dogs Dog Training & Behaviour Modification, Kitchener, Ontario
