MODULE NO. CFBA1002
Essential skills in basic dog training
The module, split into three phases, can
be undertaken at any time and over any reasonable period withina
maximum of one year (normally completed in 3 - 6 months) from
the date of registration.
Phase 1
This is delivered as a distance learning phase.
This includes initial work based analysis and research. This
also provides you with an oportunity to meet dog owners and
to interview them. You are also required to conduct secondary
research via the internet, library and other sources such
as books and journals on specific equipment used for the training
and control of dogs. This includes the identification of potential
or current problems and the relevance of correction using
training techniques.
Please note that you must allow a minimum
of six weeks study of phase 1 before your workshop date(Phase
2).
Phase 2
This workshop is an intensive highly structured
programme building on the topics from Phase 1. We provide refreshments including a buffet lunch free of charge.
This phase includes
-
General and safety briefings
-
Human and canine body language
-
Use of equipment for controlling dogs
-
Hands-on work with dogs
-
Review and discussion sessions include
video-taped handling and playback analysis
-
One-to-one and group activities for peer
discussion
The programme finishes with a review of the
activities and the learning experience.
Phase 3
This distance learning phase brings together
the activities of the two previous phases. Students will be
required to relate the practical experiences and knowledge
gained from Phase 2 to their initial research, analysis, learning
and experiences from Phase 1, contextualising and applying
the knowledge gained to their professional activities.
