Please help if you can advise.
I am an expat in the Middle East and our one and only decent dog trainer (i.e the one who uses positive reinforcement and doesn't follow the Jan Fennell method) is suddenly leaving the country!
There is a huge need for someone like her as there are loads of unwanted dogs here which get adopted by expats, and unfortunately there is also a massive culture among the dog-walking community of advocating dominance-based training methods. E.g I see one couple with electric shock collars on their dogs for recall :(
I am just wondering if there were any distance learning courses I could do to qualify as a dog trainer - even if they included a short residential module, I could manage that as I could easily go back to the UK for a few weeks.
Does anyone know of any? E.g. Minimuu?
