Put an End to the Guesswork and Get Confident in Your Employee Training Once and for All!
It used to take months for our team to complete training and now it’s less than a week.
Dog Handler Academy has been an amazing addition to our training program. Our employees receive educational information as soon as they are enrolled and once their training is completed they are knowledgeable in many areas of the canine industry. This is an amazing program and we highly recommend it. Our team comments on how much they love the content vs. other training programs. It used to take months for our team to complete training and now it’s less than a week.
Training for your dog daycare employees without proper, consistent training materials and resources may cost you $3,500+ a month.
Does that figure take your breath away? It should!
That is your hard-earned money walking out the door every time an employee quits.
Our online training video-based courses and quizzes will fast-track your staff into understanding the basics of dog handling in less than a month and SAVE YOU MONEY.
This program has helped me to finally implement standards for training new hires.
Training staff has to be one of the most difficult parts of our business. This program has helped me to finally implement standards for training new hires. DHA makes it so much easier, and even fun! The videos are quick and knowledgeable and it’s easy to keep track of how your employees are progressing. I have also learned a lot myself. What a wonderful (and reasonably priced) resource!
Staff training has never been easier! Our 100% online training program for employees of dog daycares and boarding facilities, as well as volunteers at dog shelters and rescues, provides comprehensive, consistent training among your team. You’ll receive email notifications and progress updates to let you know when an employee has completed each course (or if they’re falling behind!). GET STARTED.
With this course, one of your current rockstar dog handler employees can learn how to be a day trainer. At the end of the course, the employee must submit videos demonstrating the skills learned in the course for our experts to review and critique prior to receiving their certificate of completion. With the purchase of this course, we also provide you with videos, resources, and ideas on how to create (or improve) your dog day training program. LEARN MORE.
