Advanced Handlers

Are you fascinated with dogs, and want to learn more about them?

ICS courses provide you with an understanding of canine evolution, behaviour and advanced training techniques.

Achieving advanced training, with reliable off-leash obedience, opens up a new world of freedom and enjoyment for both you and your dog!

Having control of your dog at the dog park, hiking or biking on trails, or at the family picknick means you are able to bring your dog to more places, enriching your dog’s live and enjoying your time with your dog.

ICS’ training programs provide you with a more in-depth understanding of your dog’s abilities, behaviour and advanced training courses, helping you create the relationship you have dreamed of with your dog!

Dog Competitors

Do you compete in a canine sport with dogs, such as agility, tracking, schutzhund or ring sport? If you do, you know that competing at the highest level takes years of training and dedication.

The difference between 1st place and 2nd place on the podium can be just 1 point in a competition!

ICS’ training programs provide competitors with real life advantages. ICS teaches you how to create training programs using Learning Theory based on normal canine behaviour, working in drive to produce expressive and reliable obedience and tracking, producing extreme power in protection and extreme control in obedience, leaving no point on the field!

Working Dog Handlers

ICS understands that when a working dog fails, it doesn’t loose a point in a competition, it looses lives.

Lives still depend on working dogs today. Police, military, search & rescue, herding, detection, avalanche and avian control dogs all play critical roles in the health and safety of people.

ICS’ training programs are designed to provide you with in-depth understanding of canine behaviour, Learning Theory, ability to read macro and micro canine body language to an expert level, and the foundation to train, handle and care for these amazing animals!

The needs of working dogs far exceed those of the family pet. Our goal is to provide you with the knowledge and tools, starting from puppy selection, right through to how to retire your working dog safely, to raise, care for, and train the best partner you will ever have!

Canine Care Professionals

Working with dogs isn’t be just a job, it is a Profession!

ICS is working hard to create an Entry-to-Practice standard for all roles in the canine care industry, from dog walkers, groomers, rescue and shelter staff to Certified Dog Trainers and Certified Canine Behaviourists.

ICS also offers continuing education to all professionals. Groomers are safer when they are experts at reading not only macro canine body language, by micro body language as well. Dog walkers keep the community safer by using advanced handling skills when working with multiple dogs.

ICS offers certifications courses for Kennel Management. Our courses teach your staff the basics needed to keep dogs safe in a group environment, and how to create safe group play for dogs.

For veterinarians and veterinary technicians ICS offers continuing education programs that meet your colleges’ CEU requirements.

ICS is dedicated to providing a safe, enriching environment for all professionals to learn and grow in, from aspiring professionals and beginners to the most experienced!
