Dogma proudly offered the first of its kind full dog training apprenticeship program in Canada in 2009. Our graduates finish our program with over 400 hours of theory and hands-on learning to make them the most reputable and sought-after certified trainers. Graduates who earn their DCBC (Dogma Certified Behaviour Consultant) designation have gone on to be recruited by many of Calgary’s large dog training schools or have created their own successful dog training businesses across the country. Our program is committed to providing you with the most comprehensive skills to ensure you have the confidence and experience to succeed in this exciting career. This is proven through the success of our graduates.

We listened and are now offering our program online while still ensuring you gain the hands-on experience that sets our program apart. You can complete the program from anywhere in the world and attend virtual hands-on sessions with close mentorship, or join us in Calgary for in-person workshops/practicum hours.

The bundled DCBC program which covers complex behaviour concerns such as fear and aggression, also includes the DDT (Dogma Dog Trainer) certification, and DCP (Dogma Canine Professional) certificate at a reduced rate.

Enroll today! Do-it-yourself, or demonstrate your skills to receive the DDT and DCBC designations. The entire program can be done online from anywhere in the world! We currently do two intakes per year (Fall and Spring). Upon successful graduation of DDT, you will automatically join the following DCBC intake.

Our next session starts April, 2025. Register for your spot today!
