Responsible Dog Ownership

Description

“Every dog owner should be made to do this course!”
“This is so much better than re-introducing a pointless dog license.”
“I’ve been able to apply what I’ve learned in the real world.”

Dog ownership is on the increase and raised sharply during lockdown. There have never been more dog owners in the UK than there are right now, and it is more important now more than ever, for the average dog owner to take responsibility and really learn about dogs. Understanding the importance and significance of such basic things as socialization, canine body language, and your role as a dog owner, is vital if you want to avoid problems later on, and being able to address issues yourself could save hundreds if not thousands in dog behaviourist and vet fees.

Things have changed a lot in the past decade, and what you perhaps thought you knew about dogs, could be completely wrong these days! We’ll guide you through it. It’s simple. If you own a dog, this course is for you. This is the course people are saying every dog owner should be made to do. It’s super affordable, les than half the price of all our other certificate courses, and really straight forward. It’s entirely home study and self-paced.

On completion, you will:

• Have learned about the legal responsibilities of dog owners
• Have learned about the Five Welfare Needs of dogs
• Have a better understanding of dog behaviour and socialisation
• Understand health & Vet care
• Know about Dog Control Orders in public spaces
• Have learned about dangerous dogs
• Be up to date on identification and microchipping
• Know about keeping dogs and children safe

You can read this material and do nothing, or complete and email your answers in exchange for a BCCS Responsible Dog Ownership Digital Certificate! 

Be the best dog owner you can be and sign up today. Your dog will thank you for it.

Who Is This Course For?

The British College of Canine Studies has traditionally provided courses for those wanting to work with dogs, or for those who already do so. But this course is for YOU, the average dog owner. We want to play our part in increasing the education of dog owners in general, so that problem dogs, common issues, and dog bite related incidents don’t all rise along with the number of canine companions in the UK.

How Long Will It Take Me To Complete?

There are around 19 pages of information, and for the first time, the BCCS offers a multiple choice format for the Q&A section, consisting of 15 questions. This whole course should take no longer than a day or two but take as long as you like. Spend a week or a month reading and digesting. Send your answers when you’re ready, and proudly display your Responsible Dog Ownership Certificate!

Add it to cart as with any other course and complete the checkout procedure, obviously paying ZERO! On completion you will be sent a confirmation email and in that confirmation will be a link to the free course download.
