An excellent foundation in the care and behaviour of pet dogs.
A great place to start! This foundation course is designed to offer an overview of the domestic dog living in a human world today.
What you will learn:
Unit One: Canine Social Evolution. This Unit explores the different theories of canine social evolution: do dogs really see us as a ‘pack’? Canine care – we take a closer look at dogs’ hierarchy of needs – both physical and behavioural. The emotional life of dogs – an introduction to this fascinating subject.
Unit Two: Learning to be a dog – understanding critical phases and the importance of socialisation. How dogs live with us – similarities and differences in our understanding of the world. How dogs communicate – canine body language and social expression.
Unit Three: Different breeds – different needs. This Unit looks at the specific behavioural differences between breeds and the importance of allowing dogs to express ‘hard-wired’ drives through training and appropriate outlets. How dogs learn – a user-friendly guide to learning theory with practical applications to ensure that we are always offering the best possible training.
