About your Course
This level 4 diploma in canine welfare, training and behaviour management explores in detail what you need to correctly and safely care for canines in various settings.
You’ll learn ways to identify and address problem behaviour, as well as how to maintain the welfare of canines. To do this you’ll be taught to read canine body language and the indicators of stress and anxiety. Spotting the signs early can help you avoid both aggressive and unwanted behaviours.
Throughout the course, you’ll also cover canine anatomy, physiology, nutrition and other topics that provide an in-depth understanding of canine care.
This course is ideal for anyone aiming to work with dogs in a kennel or care setting. You’ll not only understand the requirements for immediate care, but also the impact of long-term kennelling and the importance of play.
You could also start a career in dog training or behavioural consulting with the knowledge you’ll gain. Either career choice provides an excellent opportunity to work with dogs, helping resolve problem behaviours or strengthening the bond between animal and human.
After the course, you can head straight into employment or take your education further with higher level study. Either through a level 5 diploma or by studying an animal behaviour degree at university.
