Canine Correspondence Studies
Norma Jeanne created CCS – Canine Correspondence Studies: Professional Dog Trainer Certification Career Course in 1994 to help students realize their dream of becoming a highly qualified and respected certified, positive dog trainer, behaviour and/or aggression therapist. Because she was tired of dog guardians and trainers making excuses for abusing dogs in the name of dog training, Norma Jeanne made it her mission to teach the importance and application of scientifically proven and positive, fear-free dog training, behaviour and aggression therapy in order to nurture well-trained dogs, while protecting their temperament and emotional wellbeing. She has since trained over 750 positive dog trainers in 18 countries as the CCS family of qualified, force-free dog trainers and behaviour consultants continues to grow worldwide.
International Positive Dog Training Association
Norma Jeanne founded the International Positive Dog Training Association in 2002 to take a stand against abuse in the name of dog training. IPDTA continues to set the international standard for humane dog training and is connecting clients with quality, positive dog trainers worldwide.
Published Author & Dog Training Educator
Norma Jeanne is a published author, Founder & Chair of the International Positive Dog Training Association, former conference presenter, columnist and Editor in Chief for the Canadian Association Of Professional Pet Dog Trainers, and content contributor to numerous industry magazines including Pets and Animals, Dogster and Animal Wellness. The CCS dog training courses are well-known and highly respected by dog guardians and professional dog training experts around the globe.
Positive Dog Training Philosophy
Norma Jeanne created touch-free, fear-free and force-free dog training, behaviour and aggression modification programs using motivation to nurture mutual trust and respect, and to teach dogs to think for themselves and make correct choices without coercion. Her science-based dog training philosophy is that dogs can learn to problem-solve and choose desired behaviours in order to affect a pleasant outcome, and with repetition, the dog will default to the wanted behaviour.
Positive does not mean permissive. Self-control is taught and respect is mutual due to benevolent leadership, resource control and a thorough understanding of canine communication. When we nurture trust and respect we create a well-trained dog with a resilient temperament while protecting its emotional wellbeing.
