Beginner Level
Designed for youth ages 8-12, this engaging program introduces youth to humane and effective training techniques that enhance communication with their pets. We welcome pets of all species from dogs and cats to reptiles and horses...and more! In this course, students will learn what clicker training is, what food rewards to use for their training, how to set their pet up for success, and will even train their first trick! Courses will have live meetings, interactive discussions, written material, and animal training video demonstrations. Each week, students will attend a live class and complete a short homework assignment. Students will practice with their personal pets and receive instructor feedback.
Learning Goals
Students will learn the basics of clicker training, the different types of rewards, how to set their pet up for success in training, and how to target train their pet.

For example, animals with severe anxiety, aggression, resource guarding, or other potentially dangerous behaviors that may put the child's safety at risk should be avoided.
