Why do we encourage students to bring their own dog to our ACM40322 Certificate IV in Animal Behaviour and Training practical intensive workshops? In this quick Q&A, AVT Trainer and Assessor Fiona Cowie shares the reasons behind this approach, including how it helps students feel supported, build confidence, and develop real-world training skills with a dog they already know and trust. What you'll learn: - The benefits of using your own dog in practical training - How this creates a safe, supportive learning environment - What happens if you can’t bring your own dog (e.g., interstate students or dog suitability) Want to become a qualified dog trainer?
