The college has launched a new program in canine behavior and training, designed to equip students with the skills to work with dogs in a variety of settings.
The program focuses on positive reinforcement training methods, which have been shown to be effective in building strong relationships between dogs and their handlers.
By emphasizing gentle and humane techniques, students can develop a deeper understanding of canine behavior and body language, allowing them to provide better care and training for dogs.
Through this comprehensive program, students will gain hands-on experience in dog training and behavior, preparing them for careers in animal welfare, conservation, and education.
