Is the Service Dog Fundamentals course a prerequisite for the Service Dog Coaching Certificate program?

No, the Service Dog Fundamentals course is not a prerequisite for the Cooperative Paws SDC Certificate program. However, trainers who are working towards meeting the Cooperative Paws SDC Certificate prerequisites are encouraged to take one of our on-demand courses first.
