This is the entry level course to our Certified Pet Trainer, our Certified Foundation Dog® trainer, and our Masters Programs. It all starts here.
'With one month behind me in the program, I gotta say, I am super pleased with my choice to attend Top Tier K9 Academy. Unlike other training programs that would have required me to leave my job and home for months at a time, the online classroom allows me to maintain my lifestyle while still attending weekly classes. And because of the unique classroom, I have connected with trainers from around the country and am learning with students from all over the world. And the business training? Second to none - learning a ton about areas of the industry that would have taken me years to stumble through. Cannot wait to finish pet training certs and dive right into working dog program!'
