dog psychology courses?

I have been working as a basic dog obedience instructor for about a year now and I am really looking to further my education in dog psychology. I do NOT want to be a vet or an animal behaviorist. I’m more looking to still train dogs, but more with dog aggression. IE: Dominance Aggression, Fear Aggression, Territorial/Protective Aggression, Dog-on-Dog Aggression. I have done a lot of reading on this and this is where I would really like to end up in my training career. Can anyone guide me in the right direction to receive the right credibility and certification(s) to do this? Any great schools that are canine based or good certification programs?? Anything would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!
I am actually looking into that right now . Thank you so much !

Disagreements with husband over dog training!?

My husband has a dog who is not obedience trained. It has several behavior problems including periodic aggression toward people, and frequently attempts to attack other dogs. The problem is, my husband doesn’t think there is a problem. Today he said that he didn’t want to train the dog because then the dog would be a “robot” and not “fun”. He is upset that I don’t like the dog.
I told him that I would like a dog that is well-trained.
It also irritates me day in and day out to see my husband interacting with the dog in a way that trainers and experts advise against, such as baby-talking the dog, petting and stroking it constantly, and petting it and feeding it on-demand. It causes me to be annoyed for a good chunk of my day! Because I understand dog psychology and dog training, and he wants to live in a fantasy world where he anthropomorphizes the dog. This causes a lot of stress and anger in our marriage, because even though it is just a dog, it is such a CONSTANT and PERSISTENT annoyance!
I am trying to do the right thing, but I’m not sure what that is!
If you say get a trainer, how do I deal with the fact that my husband does not agree there is even a problem! He thinks the dog is great.

I am esp. interested in answers from people who understand that a dog is not a human, and that dogs must be trained!
Sigh. I don’t know what I was hoping for! Being a terrible dog-owner can be only one facet of someone’s personality…
We have the same views on how to raise children.
Also, it has bitten many people. But no one ever reports it because they don’t want to be responsible for the dog getting put down! Argh!

I want to learn dog psychology?

I have an extreme passion for dogs and would like to learn more on training dogs using dog psychology as a profession. Any thoughts on what steps I should take to start a career in this field? I’ve tried applying at a canine center but I have no experience which is probably the reason I haven’t heard from them. I need help!
I have a dog and also watch The Dog Whisperer which has inspired me even more. Is there a course I can take?
Besides getting a degree, is there a certification course?

Have you ever wished you could understand dog psychology and get to the root of why your dog has certain behavior problems and obedience training issues? Home dog trainers and dog owners alike are looking to get a better hold on how to mold their dog’s behavior.

Thanks to a certain TV dog trainer there are many dog owners now interested in dog psychology and a certain dog psychology center. Due to this rise in interest in what is now termed dog psychology there are many dog owners and dog trainers interested in what this term really means.

Buzz words in any industry come and go but the term dog psychology isn’t so much a buzz word as it is a means of describing what is the deeper search for understanding canine behavior and training.

The reality is that any good dog trainer or individual who has become expert at molding dog behavior can be considered a practitioner of dog psychology. The reason being is that anyone who is adept at changing behavior in a dog must first understand where behavior originates and the tenets that control its modification. Therefore, any good trainer is also a good dog psychologist as the two are one in the same.

In your own efforts to become a dog psychology expert the key is to simply study the techniques and methods of those who have cracked the code to changing dog behavior for the better.
