An outstanding resource for anyone serious about dogs!
Jo-Rosie Haffenden is easily one of the top five dog trainers in the UK. Her knowledge is profound and insightful, whether she’s covering dog behaviour, training, raising a puppy or working in shelters.
The Institute of Applied Canine Science online academy is a delight to use. It’s clearly laid out and easy on the eye, and holds a wealth of material and lectures. Topics range from specific breeds and reactivity case studies to dog and human aggression, play, as well as specialist areas such as sound sensitivity and canine health.
There’s plenty for dog trainers at every level. It covers the foundations, like hand feeding, loose lead walking and recall, and there’s a very helpful diary of how Jo- Rosie raised her own Great Dane puppy.
Members also get monthly Zoom calls, where you can send in questions in advance. You can also book a one-to-one with Jo Rosie to talk through a specific issue or case.
The dog industry is full of puffed-up egos and dogmatic nonsense. Jo Rosie’s down-to-earth, honest, empathetic and approachable style stands out, and it runs through everything she does.
I couldn’t recommend this academy more highly. Do not hesitate to subscribe!
