The SDC Certificate program is for experienced professional dog trainers who are committed to positive training methods as per the SDC Code of Ethics.
The program prerequisites include: a credential in professional dog training (a list of recognized credentials is here), documentation of ongoing professional development and staying current in the field (such as attendance at webinars and courses), and at least one year of hands-on experience working professionally with clients and their dogs. The application process also involves submitting references, answering questions about training, and submitting an example of a step by step training process or a short video.
Please note that our on-demand courses do not have prerequisites.
