🐾 Pro-Trainer Academy: Phase 3
🐾Phase 3
The Practicum — Your Graduation Moment
Welcome to Phase 3: The Practicum — your official graduation and launch into the professional dog training world. This isn’t just a formality; it’s your chance to demonstrate that you’ve truly internalized everything you’ve learned, from behavior theory and hands-on training to curriculum design and business development.
During this final phase, you’ll independently train two dogs over a six-week period from your home — without direct guidance. This is your time to lead, apply critical thinking, and make decisions like a true professional. At the end of the practicum, you’ll present your work, receive targeted feedback, and walk away with a renewed confidence in your skills and instincts.
In addition to the training component, you’ll complete two essential professional development projects: a full business plan and a custom-designed training curriculum. These final assignments are crafted to set you up for success as you transition from student to business owner or working professional.
Phase 3 is your moment to shine — a celebration of your growth and a powerful step toward launching a successful, fulfilling career in dog training.
