​​About the course
In this course you will learn all about the set up of Puzzle Dog Sensory Rooms. We will discuss the stations used, practice observation skills and gather interesting facts you could share with your clients.

The most important part of the course will be that you will develop the Sensory Room setup that works for you! A setup that fits your background, goals and focus.

 

Some thoughts on how Sensory Room sessions could be used (but there are way more options!):

• If you are a canine behaviourist or rehab specialist a Sensory Room session could be a perfect first session to get to know the dog and the owner better (during or after your intake process). You can watch the dog move and 'be'have and you get to chat with the owner and gather a lot of information.

• If you are a dog trainer a Sensory Room could be a tool for your training classes. Maybe something you could do to help get the dog get accustomed to your facility or (in a mini version) help them cope in a class setting.

• If you are a dog walker or pet sitter a Sensory Room would be a wonderful thing to do as a first session (to get to know the dog) or as an activity on rainy/snowy/stormy days or for dogs that don't do well leaving their home or property.

 

The details:

• This will be a guided course with assignments and a couple of online live sessions (will be recorded).

• You can do the course at your own pace, it's setup to be finished in 3 months, but you will have maximum 6 months to finish the course (so if you start October 1st, you should be finished March 31st 2025).

• A certificate will be send after completion.

• Course fee: CA$399 for the first cohort starting October 1st, the fee will go up after that. A payment plan (3 monthly payments of CA$133) is available. 

• The next start date of the course will be announced in December.
