This course is designed to teach you everything that you need to know to work with dogs professionally.
To start with, you need to understand dogs – how they think, learn and communicate.
You also need to understand not just what to do, but why we do it. That’s the secret that will allow you to train the dog in front of you, no matter the problem, and then be able to pass that knowledge on to your clients.
My exclusive accreditation scheme is only available to those who successfully complete this course, gaining a passing grade in the final exam. Why is this qualification different?
We are 100% confident that you will love this course and find that it is truly packed full of value, containing absolutely everything that you need to succeed as a canine professional.
There’s no other way to say it, this course is the culmination of my life’s work. All of the years I’ve spent helping dogs as a canine behaviourist, the lessons I’ve learnt through starting and growing my own business, and all of the knowledge and experience that I’ve gained along the way have been poured into this to make it genuinely the most comprehensive course out there.
I wanted to make this course because there are so many dogs out there that need help. There have never been more dogs being given up then there are right now. My mission is to keep dogs out of shelters and off the euthanasia table, and it’s something I’ve worked hard at for many years now. But I’m only one man. I can only do so much by myself. And that’s why we need more dog trainers, more behaviourists and just more educated owners with the knowledge and skills to help dogs and stop them from needing to be given up.
I felt this course was necessary because of the state the industry is in. So many people ask me how they can become dog trainers and I didn’t have anywhere to point them. There’s so much information out there that just isn’t useful in the real world. Courses full of limited and useless information that won’t help anyone. Qualifications that are just tick box exercises to get a meaningless piece of paper. Trainers that are hoarding their knowledge to themselves, not wanting to share their potential clientele. Something needed to change.
So that’s what I’ve done with this course. I’ve packed it full of absolutely everything I think you need to know to succeed as a canine professional. All of the theoretical and practical knowledge to understand how dogs think and learn, and how to use that to teach something new or change existing behaviours. All the skills you need to pass on that information to the owners of those dogs so it actually gets used and applied every day. And all of the business secrets you need to actually make a living doing this so you can just focus on the dogs.
I’ve not held anything back. I’ve poured all of that and more into this course. You’ll get to see hours of footage of me and other trainers actually working with clients as well, there’s no secrets here. Helping people to enjoy their lives with their dogs is such a rewarding and fulfilling career and I want you to be able to experience it as well. With this course, you can. It really is everything you need to succeed.
So, no excuses, get started today and I’ll see you on the other side!
The course is designed to be taught over a six month period, and you’ll need to work through the modules in order but you will be able to go at your own pace. This is to ensure that you have enough time to digest all of the information included. There are quizzes on the most essential modules, and each month will culminate with an exam that is required to continue.
To be frank, accreditation is a mess in the canine industry at present. That’s why we provide our own accreditation system for those who successfully complete this course: Will Atherton Accredited Trainer status. You’ll receive a badge to display on your website and social media that will demonstrate your expertise to clients and allow you to leverage Will’s social proof that he has built up with his audience over many years.
The course is taught through a series of online video lectures and practical demonstrations, as well as full length, unedited videos of training sessions with real professionals. There are additional reading lists and some downloadable materials to supplement your learning.
Yes, later months include practical demonstrations of many obedience drills, behaviour modification exercises and much more, as well as the practical experience you’ll gain through observing real training sessions.
We are confident that you will have everything you need to succeed as a canine professional with this course. If, however, you decide that the format is not for you or you change your mind we offer a 14 day no questions asked refund policy where you will receive 100% of your money back.
Absolutely! This course is designed to contain everything that you need to know to become a successful canine professional. It is packed full of value for both complete beginners and even existing professionals.
Yes, there is a short exam at the end of each month to ensure that you have fully understood the material before continuing as well as a large final exam to ensure that you are at the level required for Accredited Trainer status. You’ll be able to retake the exams as much as you need to pass.
How about forever? You’ll have lifetime access to all of the course material after purchasing so you can work entirely at your own pace and check back in years down the line to touch up your learning.
Not at all, just belief in yourself and drive to work. We want to help as many people as possible to become canine professionals so we can help as many dogs as possible. We keep our prices as low as we can to facilitate this and the initial investment will be easily recouperated when you begin practicing as a canine professional.
Yes, although Will is based in the UK the curriculum is applicable worldwide.
