About This Application:
This short application (5–7 minutes) helps us understand your goals, background, and readiness for professional certification.
Submitting your application begins a professional review process. If accepted, applicants are expected to be prepared to move forward within a defined enrollment timeframe.
Who This Program Is Designed For:
This certification is built for individuals pursuing — or seriously exploring — dog training as a professional career. That may include professional practice, nonprofit or rescue work, shelter programs, or other real-world canine services.
If your primary goal is training your own pet or learning casually as a hobby, this program likely won’t be the right fit.

After submitting your application, you will immediately schedule your admissions conversation. This is a decision-focused discussion designed to determine professional fit, readiness, and next steps.
