Do You Want To Take The Next Professional Step In Advanced Canine Behaviour?

You are already qualified as a Canine Behaviour Technician and are ready to take the next step in your learning. You might have returned to education because of your dedication to dogs, and despite being qualified as a dog behaviourist, you wonder how far you can go academically. You miss research and referencing (some people do, honest!) Yet it’s far more likely that you want to become a Clinical Dog Behaviourist.

To help you reach the level of clinical dog behaviour, we will guide you into advanced research and critical thinking. At this level, science can be intimidating because you start formally questioning the validity of dog-related facts and theories. You need self-belief and for that you’re in the right place; investing in learner confidence is a huge priority for us.

At level 6, you also need authentic, and consistent tutoring to help you understand and work through some of the more formal parts of academic learning. You need materials that don’t make your eyes glaze over, and most of all you need to be aware that you are central to your learning experience.

If your dream is to become a clinical dog behaviourist, this is the course for you. The Canine Principles team will support you throughout and beyond your learning and your tutor will be delighted to meet you.

If you’re not sure this is the course for you, we are more than happy to have a conversation about your goals, just drop us a line.
