CHECK OUT WHAT PAST STUDENTS ARE SAYING
"This apprenticeship program really confirmed my goal of being a professional dog trainer. I already had experience helping with basic clicker training obedience, but this program gave me so much more knowledge about the different tools available and how to safely and effectively use them. Seeing how the dogs were transformed in a matter of two weeks was so encouraging. In the first session Juliet took time to understand what my goals were for the program, then customized the work we did based on this. As an aspiring professional I used this program as a starting point from which I can build my knowledge and skills. I learned and practiced using many different tools such as the prong and e-collars. I was also able to see the daily routine of the board and train dogs. Juliet also shared many strategies and tips for opening and running your own business. After finishing the month I am much more confident in my ability to start my own business and have a successful career as a professional trainer. I would recommend this program to anyone that wants to learn more about dog training."
