Cloverfield Specialist Trainer Program

PictureTag, PTSD Service Dog
Cloverfield Animal Behaviour Services is now offering a course specifically designed to train students to become certified dog obedience and service dog trainers.  Students will learn to use Operant Conditioning Behaviour Analysis (OCBA), and the basics of dog behaviour and solving problem behaviours.  The goal is to prepare the student to teach basic puppy and adult beginner classes, and to train service dogs. 

      Course Objectives
  • Operant Conditioning Behaviour Analysis, Level 1 Certificate

  • Reading and Understanding Dog Behaviour, Level 1

  • Family Dog Problem solving

  • Earn a Teaching Certificate for public puppy classes, adult beginner classes, CGC level classes

  • Service Dog Trainer Certification

Students have weekly lessons,and the length of the course is variable - it is dependent upon the ability and progress of the student.  Some students choose to only take one portion (OCBA level 1, or Level 1 dog behaviour), while others take the entire course to become a Cloverfield Certified Trainer.  If taking part in the Service Dog trainer certification, the student should be aware that depending upon the age of the dog, it can take approximately 1 to 1.5 years to train a dog to certification, during which students are required to take weekly lessons.  

No payment is taken in advance, each lesson is paid for as it is taken.  There are therefore no refunds for any part of the course.
