Course Details

This is the last in the 4 part series.  This course will discuss specific types of dogs including seniors, overweight dogs, puppies, and overly active dogs.  We will start using cases to put the four series together.  At the conclusion of this course, the participant should have a good and safe understanding of working with a variety of dogs.

Teaching Approach 

A main lecture will be released weekly, with the homework assignment for that week.  There may be supplemental lectures added to the course.  The supplemental lectures may contain additional homework and/or discussions in the discussion thread.

A sampling of what prior students have said about this series ...

I am so excited this course is now being offered. I have researched other canine fitness trainer courses and none seemed as thorough as this. I am grateful we had an opportunity to sign up for all four at once so now I don't have to worry if I get in the next class or not. I have already learned so much and this is just the first level of four! I am also happy with the fact that there will be a certification opportunity after the class. Lisa H.              


Fantastic course and instructor!!     


The lectures, photos and videos were great. Very clear, pertinent and educational.   


Debbie Gross does an excellent job providing feedback and making the learning environment welcoming and fun.    


Thank you Debbie, I have loved every minute of the first part of the course and excited to learn more over the coming months :)       


I am taking this for the second time and am STILL getting my money's worth.             


Debbie is very responsive to her students. She stays on top of the class postings and her fast responses to homework and questions are very much appreciated.        


Debbie Gross is beyond supportive and accommodating. Her knowlegde base is astounding.              


Debbie was fantastic, her feedback was so helpful and she was very quick to respond to posts.
