Introduction

This course takes a holistic approach to family dog education, using a series of games to build a solid working relationship as the foundation for more formal obedience training. This course is designed to empower novice and experienced dog owners alike with simple exercises that can be incorporated into daily life to build reliability, relationship, and manners.

This workbook consists of seven online coursework modules, including six short quizzes culminating in a final exam. The workbook is designed to accompany six classroom-based lessons. The Orientation precedes your first class and is designed to extend course content to that of a seven-week course, introducing crucial fundamental concepts that can be difficult to absorb once you have your puppy with you. If you do not complete the Orientation module and quiz, then you may be ill-prepared for Lesson 1.

Always remember: enjoy your dog!
