Service Dog Training School International has made their Intensive Service Dog Training Course e-learning

    DUBLIN, IRELAND, September 01, 2021 /24-7PressRelease/ -- To overcome covid-19 pandemic limitations, as well as to meet the high demand of service dog training applicants from all around the world, SDTSI has decided to upgrade their Certified Intensive Service Dog Training Course to be available completely online.

The development of this online course posed many challenges, first and foremost how to obviate the need of an instructor in presence, without affecting the efficacy of the training and slowing down the learning pace. SDTSI team, thanks to their many years of consolidated experience in service dog training, with the addition of commonly used modern technologies, has been able to effectively organize the course in small and easy achievable steps, which can be easily assimilated by the "students" and can be readily verified by the tutors during the one-on-one sessions.

SDTSI Intensive Service Dog Training Course, once rendered online, has reached a higher level of convenience. The course can be accessed anywhere, anytime; lessons can be handily reviewed at one's will, and most importantly, every student can take the course at his/her own pace, adapting it to their daily schedule, thus becoming less stressful and more enjoyable. Providing the same competence with ease.

The online version of SDTSI Certified Intensive Service Dog Training Course is structured into 8 distinct modules, which can be completed in 10 weeks, approximately 120 hours. The modules contents vary from theoretical knowledge, which is preparatory to the practical training, such as information about dog's learning process, service dog's capabilities and limitations, learning how to interpret dogs' body language, and so on. And practical training, like Eye Contact, Focus, Be Quiet, Opening and Closing, Standing Up and Pushing a Cart, and all the other training required to service dogs.

The course ends with a Public Access Test, where the instructor will evaluate if the dog has mastered all the capabilities requisite of a certified service dog, and if so, provide the Service Dog Certification.

The course is aimed at people who are decided to train their own service dog, to assist themselves or others, and to people who want to start a career as service dog trainers to help others with training.
