ANZ 321 Introduction to Canine Training

Based on information learned in Canine Science and Fundamentals of Learning, students will apply their knowledge of dog handling, care, safety, and training. During this course students have both the opportunity and responsibility for caring for and training a dog. Basic dog obedience and responsible dog ownership will be the focus of the course. Students will learn about and participate in methods used for dog selection. Key issues involved in training, such as attachment, communication, and developmental deadlines will be explored. Multiple approaches to obedience training will be discussed and evaluated. Working with assigned dogs is required and various assessments are made during the course of students' skill and knowledge regarding dog care, handling and training techniques. Fostering a dog is optional (see ANZ 321L). This course includes both written and oral evaluation techniques.
