Are you ready transform your dog into a real life super hero?This course is designed to empower individuals interested in training service dogs for people with disabilities, offering you the knowledge, skills, and guidance to create exceptional partnerships between humans and canines. Starting from the basics of standard obedience training, instructor Alex Starr will teach you how to take nearly any dog and mold them into a capable and well mannered service dog in what may seem like the blink of an eye.Using a tool called positive reinforcement, Alex will walk with you through the process one step at a time.
