Telecourses are short,
to the point and affordable! And, if you missed a course you would have loved
to attend, you can access an audio version
here! TELEPHONE CHARGES: The phone call is not toll free, so you will be charged for the call. However, there are some easy, inexpensive ways to make long distance calls these days, so here are some ideas: 1. Look into free long distance service. Most major phone companies now have free long distance for a very reasonable price -- less than $50.00 per month. 2. Get a phone call to use just for business. You should be able to find a phone card at any of the big box stores for around .03 cents per minute -- that works out to $1.80 per hour! Plus, it's a write-off as a business expense on your taxes! There's an Internet service -- www.callingcard.com -- which has extremely low rates and can be purchased from your computer. 3. Investigate services such as Skype.com, which offers free telephone service over the Internet. PET OWNERS: If you are an owner taking a live telecourse to increase your knowledge, welcome! We are delighted that you take enough interest in your pet to make the effort to learn about behavior. However, please be aware that these courses are designed for animal professionals. Because of the time limitation, the speaker is not able to address individual situations, so please refrain from asking questions about your pet. If you do ask questions and they become incompatible with the goal of the course, either the speaker or a representative of Raising Canine will politely ask you to hold your questions. Please do not think that this means we are unsympathetic to your issues – it simply means there is not time in the course to do an analysis of an individual case and the questions are taking away from the other course attendees' learning experience. We do have audio-taped courses that are specifically designed for owners; additionally, all the courses are audio-taped, and we welcome you increasing your knowledge of your pet's behavior by taking these courses - they are a valuable resource. In the audio-taped courses by category, we have a list of owner recommendations; these courses will give you the basic academic background to delve deeper into how animals learn and why they behave as they do. If there are specific topics you would like to see addressed, please contact Raising Canine at info@raisingcanine.com with your suggestions. We truly appreciate your interest and enthusiasm. NOTICE: Once you've ordered a live course you will either get a receipt and then an e-mail from Raising Canine telling you that shortly before the course you will be sent the access information and materials (if any); or, you will get a receipt, an e-mail from Raising Canine with the access telephone number and another e-mail with a link to download the course materials. You MUST download the materials within 24 hours -- please put the phone number in your calendar and download the materials to a location you can find (you might want to put the location of the downloads in your calendar!). Also, you may enroll almost immediately before class time; however, you should allow at least 15 minutes to receive your access information. Also, be aware that if you have problems, it's unlikely that anyone will be available to help you once the class has started. If you need help, send an e-mail, and hopefully we'll have time to check.

The Toolbox Series: Remodeling Finally, IT’S HERE! So many of us started out in our careers using Terry Ryan’s “Toolbox” book. Well, she’s revised and updated that book and it’s now available for the next generation of trainers. Terry is the Queen of classroom and client management, and her books are a wealth of useful, clever ideas that help us be better advisors to our clients. You can know everything there is to know about dog behavior, but if you can’t effectively communicate that information to your clients and help them implement practical protocols, the knowledge remains theoretical and your client’s problems never satisfactorily resolve. Terry has generously agreed to take time out of her very busy schedule to talk to Raising Canine’s clients about the concepts and tools in her updated version of “The Toolbox for Building a Great Family Dog.” During these sessions you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions and brainstorm ideas with one of the best client managers around. Remodeling: Evaluate and address problem behaviors – a checklist of methods – application example: barking.
Cool Resources Join Sue for this fun, quick telecourse. She’s been collecting cool free resources over the years, and in this course she’ll share a few of them with you. Not all the resources are free, but most of them are, and the ones that are not free are very cool!
Smart Moves in Bad Times Don’t assume that seasonal slumps are inevitable or that economic hard times mean your business has to suffer. In reality, you have a great deal more control than you might think over how and whether you experience slow times.
Aggression to People It's the most dangerous behavior problem we can deal with - a dog who bites people. There are several kinds of people aggression - aggression towards strangers, aggression towards people in the home, aggression towards children, or men, or one particular person. In this course, we will discuss the different types of aggression, possible behavior modification techniques, and knowing when you need to refer or to recommend giving up the dog.
Try Something New: Innovative Approaches to Increasing Class Revenue Class attendance not where you’d like it to be? Not getting the retention numbers you want from one class to the next? Maybe it’s time to try something new. Join Gina Phairas and Veronica Boutelle of dog*tec to look at innovative approaches to class offerings, from unusual topics to short-run classes to membership programs and open enrollment approaches. Find out how doing something different can help differentiate your program from the competition, make it easier for clients to take your classes, give you a marketing edge, and increase your revenue.
REFUND POLICY: The course fee will be refunded, in its entirety, so long as the enrollee requests a refund in writing no later than the 14th day after the course is concluded. Alternatively, the enrollee may request an exchange or credit toward a different course, instead of a refund.
