laffi Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 how much does it cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms James Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I'm thinking about doing the course too I'm debating whether or not to do it through distance ed or "on campus". I think it's a great thing to do to get into your dog's head...I'm sure there's a magic pill they give dog trainers to make doggies behave around them!!

I think it's a great thing to do to get into your dog's head...I'm sure there's a magic pill they give dog trainers to make doggies behave around them!! Naaahh .... it's the logo's on our shirts and the words "dog trainer" printed on them. On campus would, I expect, be more intense - but probably more packed with practical work and experience. Check with NDTF regarding differences. As I've mentioned to you previously - I think you would do well. Edited May 31, 2007 by Erny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aw, shucks, thanks Erny On/off campus will depend on how overextended the family could get over the coming months, we'll have a few foster kiddies coming (teenagers ) soon, and I wouldn't want to be missing classes because there's crises, slamming doors, and the shoutings of "it's just not FAAAAIIIIIIIR" Distance might be the way to go, I'll give them a call on the morrow Hey, Winterpaws, you guys wanna be study buddies if I do the course?

lcprgf Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Sorry to be a pain, but what is ndtf? I realise it's probably something easy but I can't figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erny Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Sorry to be a pain, but what is ndtf? I realise it's probably something easy but I can't figure it out. It's only easy when you know. It's only a few years ago when the initials didn't mean anything to many people here. Now it is like a household name. It stands for National Dog Trainers Federation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It stands for National Dog Trainers Federation Thanks, I was going for something dog something something. We did a puppy preschool/ob with Nelly our dogue, and we were taught 'bow' and 'watch' or 'focus'. My teacher person is fantastic. I would love to do a course to broaden my knowledge (as little as it is). They need a Sydney course. Anywhere within 45 mins of me would be fantastic...... Or closer...

JulesP Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Is the price of this course and the normal course a secret or something?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Jones Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 The cost of the course is sent out in the information packs, so I would say no its not a secret. I believe the price goes up depending on how many addiotional units you choose to do?(I think thats right). If you are interested contact the NDTF and they will send you out the info including the prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can I convince my OH I need it badly (apart from the fact that I do)? How did you justify it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
