Frequently Asked Questions

It's a one of a kind class for any community.
"This program was suggested to me in addition to the Apprentice Training course when I was looking for specific direction with my career. I was somewhat skeptical of it because I hadn't established a rapport with Dognostics Career Center yet. My biggest concern was 'How" in fact you could train a dog that was fearful of vets or groomers or the car to comply, as I had understood that you couldn't train fear or anxiety out of a dog. It didn't take long for me to find that exact written statement very early, which peaked my interest even more. Conditioning.....of course. Brilliant! Now I see it and believe me you can believe as well!. I have my first small group of skeptics attending a workshop soon and cannot wait to work the magic of the Fostering Collaborative Care Training!
It's a one of a kind class for any community. So happy to be the first in my area!"
