FAQ

Our course is designed to guide students from absolute beginners to a professional level. Here's what we offer: Foundational knowledge: you'll begin by studying the basics of canine biology, physiology, and neurology. You don't need any prior experience — we'll teach you everything from scratch to expert level. Step-by-step training: the course is divided into lectures and practical sessions, so you can first master the theory and then apply it in practice under the supervision of an experienced instructor. Personalized guidance: each student is assigned a curator — a professional instructor who supports you through every stage of the program. Preparation for real work: you’ll work with different dog breeds, learn various methods and specializations. Post-course support: we always offer positions at our school to top graduates and help others start their own practice. If you’re from a city where we don’t yet have a branch, you’ll have a clear advantage and may even lead the launch of our branch there — if you wish to. You don’t need any prior knowledge or skills to start. All you need is the desire to learn and work. We’ll help you become a confident and qualified cynologist.

Unfortunately, we do not share the full detailed curriculum publicly. This is due to our desire to protect the unique methods and approaches we use in training. However, we can provide a general overview of what you will learn in the course, as well as explain our principles, our approach to dog training, and how we prepare students for professional work: 1. Basics of Canine Biology, Neurology, and Physiology – Understand how a dog’s body, brain, and nervous system function, and how this affects its behavior. 2. Training Techniques – Learn methods and techniques for training various dog breeds, from basic obedience to advanced levels. 3. Working with Problem Dogs – Develop skills for handling difficult cases and correcting behavioral issues. 4. Odorology – Study the science of scent, its influence on dogs, and how to apply it in training and professional work. 5. Canine Health and Care – Basics of veterinary care, proper nutrition, grooming, dental hygiene, and more. 6. Ethics and Interaction Psychology – Understand ethical treatment of dogs and their real psychological needs. 7. Basics of Ethology – Explore dog behavior in natural environments, forming the foundation of canine psychology. 8. Working with Dog Owners – Learn how to interact with owners, provide consultations, and create individual training plans. 9. Preparation for Real-World Work – Hands-on training under expert supervision with real dogs in real conditions. Our course offers comprehensive training that ensures deep understanding and practical skills for professional work as an instructor.

Yes, absolutely! We understand that paying the full course fee upfront may not be convenient for some students. That’s why we offer the option to pay in installments. Typically, the payment is split into several equal parts over the duration of the course. Specific details can be arranged individually with our manager. If you have any questions or specific needs regarding payment, please contact us — we’ll do our best to find the most suitable option for you.

Despite the fact that our specialists are physically absent in your city, we are working to provide quality online training and practice support. Here’s how it will be organized: Online Lectures: The theoretical part of the course will be conducted through online lectures, where you will receive all the necessary information to understand the profession. Lectures are held in LIVE format, so you will be able to directly ask the lecturers and fully participate in the training. Online Practice: We will use video format to demonstrate practical skills and techniques. Your curator will properly interact with you online to ensure that you are practicing the skills correctly. Practice with Dogs: You will have the opportunity to work with the dogs of your friends, acquaintances, or even offer free services to local dog owners to gain practical experience. You will be able to demonstrate your skills to us online to receive feedback. Individual Approach: Despite the distance, we will support you at every stage, including regular contact with your curator through the online format. We understand the importance of practical training and will do everything possible to ensure you receive quality preparation regardless of your geographical location. We are interested in developing the Service Dog Training School worldwide, and you will be one of the founders of our branch in your region — of course, if you wish.

Of course, we understand that many of our students balance their studies with work, and we aim to make the learning process as convenient as possible for you. All sessions are recorded, so you can watch any missed class at a time that suits you. Additionally, a few weeks after the course begins, we introduce an extra lecture day where you can review material or ask the lecturer any questions — even if you missed the class and watched it later in the recording.

Training at the National School of Service Dog Training is indeed more affordable than in most other institutions, despite offering an in-depth curriculum, intensive preparation, and a high level of instruction that meets modern international standards. We have carefully structured each module so that students gain not just knowledge, but the readiness to work in real conditions immediately after graduation — all while keeping the cost as fair as possible. Here's why: 1. Our mission is to make professional cynology accessible: We aim to give an opportunity to anyone who wants to grow in the field of service dog training, regardless of country of residence or financial situation. 2. No compromise on quality: Despite the affordable cost, we adhere to the highest standards of instruction and practical preparation. The program includes both theoretical subjects — biology, ethology, neurophysiology — and hands-on work with real dogs, including behavior correction, odorology, and preparation for service work. All of this is done under the supervision of experienced instructors and mentors. 3. Top graduates get employed: We offer our best students the opportunity to work directly at our school. This not only boosts motivation but makes training an investment that pays off quickly. 4. We’re developing cynology worldwide: Our goal is to build a global network of professionals, and accessible education helps us attract talented individuals from various countries. We believe that high-quality education should be accessible. That’s why we optimize all processes to keep the cost fair and the results as effective as possible.
