This course offers a comprehensive overview of essential topics related to canine care and training. Students will gain knowledge and skills in understanding dog breeds, ensuring safety around dogs, grooming practices, proper nutrition, and basic training techniques. The course includes interactive activities such as dog treat baking, games, and art activities to reinforce learning and engage students in practical applications of the material. The class will be structured with an emphasis on learners working together to answer questions, direct interactions with me, and we will use Google slides and online game builder websites to evaluate learner comprehension of different topics. I strive to provide a fun and engaging classroom, with rewards for positive behavior. A live animal will be available for every class unit. I cannot wait to meet your learners!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi! My name is Mrs. Katie and I have been working with animals in various settings for my whole professional career (15+ yrs). I graduated with a Bachelors in Science studying Animal Behavior, Ecology, and Conservation and minored in Anthrozoology. I am a Certified Humane Education Practitioner and my passion is in animal education programs. I currently work as an Educator in an animal enrichment and veterinary program and I work with kids ages 3-17yrs!
I have previously held positions as a dog trainer for a popular pet chain and I have been the general manager of a doggie daycare facility. In addition to that, I was a dog groomer for a number of years, and I am the happy owner to my sweet dog, Nahla who students can expect to see on screen during some sessions (as well as some of my other animal friends.)Reviews
