The course is ideal for:

Those who want to work in the area of Canine Training and Obedience, offering Pet Dog Obedience and Puppy Classes (not Behaviour or Clinical Behaviour Modification work)
Those who are already working with dogs and who wish to gain a recognised qualification and improve both on their theory and hands on skills
Those who would like to understand more about how dogs learn and the area of Canine Training and Obedience

The FETAC award is an excellent starting point for study in the area of Canine Training and Obedience. You will also have the opportunity to get hands on experience working in our very busy Dog Daycare and Training facility. On completion you will have a solid understanding of what is involved with working with dogs along with a recognised qualification.

The course will be run 1 evening per week with some compulsory weekend work for practical work. The course duration is 8 weeks of classroom tuition and a final week for practical and exam.

We will be accepting two groups onto this course.
