At Starmark Academy, you have the benefit of being immersed in a training environment-something that you simply do not have with home study courses. Here you will receive supervised hands-on learning with immediate feedback from your instructors. Understanding that not all dogs are alike, we teach multiple methods to equip you to handle a variety of training issues. You will also have the opportunity to work with rescue dogs, giving you real-world experience with dogs of varying temperaments. We also teach you how to instruct and work with people, not just dogs, so you will be more confident when working with future clients. Our well-rounded approach thoroughly prepares you for a future career in professional dog training.
