Hey guys,
The lady I assist teaching with has asked me to design a clicker training course for puppy owners once I graduate in January so I'm trying to get some ground opinions before I start the pen to paper process. So if you have a few miniutes please copy and past these questions into the reply box and write you answers.
When you sign up for a training class what end results do you want?
Are you interested in the knowledge that will allow you to continue training or are you more geared toward specific behaviour "recipes"?
In terms of behaviours can you list the ones you consider a MUST if you were to sign up for a training class geared toward puppy owners?
If a class offered things like how to help your puppy love grooming/handling would you consider it irrelevant or mandatory?
In terms of class structure would you mind if the course was very "free flow" in the way that everyone worked at their own pace or do you expect and prefer a rigid week to week schedule?
In terms of homework- be honest how much is an achievable amount, at what work load would you start to slack off or find it impossible to complete in time for the next class.
Please list any expectations you have of a training class/ the way it is run/ etc.
Thanks very much,
Kayla
I've got close to 40 hours of assistant teaching experince and last night I got to teach the first bit of class it was soo exciting, I'm surprised how clear and confident I can speak. I certainly didn't feel like that when I first begun back in August. To top it off my class which just started last night has a bull mastiff puppy- HE IS GORGOUS!!!!!!
P.S- Im SOOOO excited
