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 full 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 DCBC program which covers complex behaviour concerns such as fear and aggression, is now available as a standalone option for those who are already working as a professional dog trainer. If you are new to dog training, check out the full DCBC program that includes our DCP (Dogma Certified Professional) and DDT (Dogma Dog Trainer) designations.

Enroll today! The behaviour work is progressive, so although there is great flexibility in the program, everyone starts and progresses as a group. Our next program starts October 23rd at 7 pm MST. Theory, workshops, and practical sessions run for about 10 months and you then have 6 months to complete the program requirements, including testing.

Upon successful completion of our program you have access our graduate community, including monthly mentor and behaviour hours, along with exclusive offers for continuing education.
