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.

Our program has been updated and new material has been added. All theoretical learning is now available online to enable you to study at your own pace. We listened and are now offering our program online while still ensuring you gain the hands-on experience that sets our program apart. 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! Training begins as soon as you sign up and you complete the program within your schedule. Upon successful completion of your DDR designation, you can join the next session of DCBC (runs twice/year). You have lifetime access to the materials, our graduate community and exclusive offers for continuing education upon successful completion of the programs.

Are you currently a certified dog trainer who is looking at becoming a behaviour consultant? We offer the DCBC program as a standalone certificate for CPDT's, KPA-CTP, and other recognized dog training certifications. Find out more here.
