Trainers Courses

 

So you want to become a dog trainer...

 

 

 

 

 

 

A word about trainers courses

 

 It took us years in business before we decided to offer a "Trainers Program".  Training or handling a few dogs does not make someone a Trainer, these people lack one crucial element...EXPERIENCE!  And these unqualified people certainly should not be training others to become trainers.  No matter what training program someone attends, assuming the foundation for training is taught by an experienced trainer, they would still need years of experience training many dogs, and to develop a training program (with their own information and handouts), before attempting to train others.  So before choosing where to take a trainers course, do your research, watch people train, see the end result, and most of all get references. I Guarantee we are the BEST locally! If you are local and don't like what we have to offer and don't mind traveling, I will discuss an alternative for you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Precision K-9 Services' "Trainers Program"

 

 At Precision K-9 Services all of our training emphasizes one-on-one instruction, we believe the customer gets more out of this type of training. Students will be taught through classroom lecture, demonstration, and field work. Hands on training ensures the student will learn more and retain what is being taught.  Our goal is to provide an excellent foundation of information to anyone who is looking to pursue a career in dog training.  Our trainers program is the background needed for one to reach their full potential.  As with all of our training, these courses are built upon building blocks or levels, only moving forward when the last level is completed. We keep our training updated with regards to such information such as vaccinations, nutrition etc..., as new discoveries are made, our training will reflect this new info. with the change in instruction, quizzes, and the final.  Below are the trainers courses we offer, if you would like more information call us for an appointment.

Dear Angie and Jason,

 

         I just wanted to let both of you know how much I appreciate the excellent training that I received during my Trainers Course with Precision K-9 Services. I have always felt that if I aspired to be the best dog trainer that I can possibly be that I had to learn from the best, and both of you are the best of the best! The many ways that you went above and beyond my expectations are too numerous to list. From my first meeting with you and Jason at the Nitro Police Department, to the last day of training at Precision K-9 Services property,  I was and continue to be very impressed with the knowledge, training skills, real world experience and professionalism that you both possess. Your integrity and honesty set the standard for others in this field to follow. Thank you for rearranging your training schedules to work around my work schedule. This course would not have been possible for me if it were not for that flexibility. From the classroom, to learning how to handle and train obedience and behaviors to a variety of temperaments and drives in dogs, to learning how to instruct private classes, this was an awesome experience. This training has given me the foundation for a lifetime of learning. I rely on the training that I have received on a daily basis.  As  you are aware of, I have started my own dog training business and in the not too distant future (hopefully) will be building my own kennels. You have helped me to achieve this goal with the training, knowledge and sound advice that you have given me. You have set me up to win. One last thing, your ongoing guidance and support since the completion of my Trainers Course is very much appreciated and has helped to eliminate a lot of the questions, concerns and uneasiness frequently associated with  getting a new business up and running. Thanks again for everything! Keep in touch.

 

                                                                               

                                                                           Sincerely,

 

                                                                           Scott Manning

 

P.S. Soldat is doing great! I hope Mauser, Yara and all the pups are the same.
