Canine Behaviour Intervention

Dog behaviour trainers (also known as interveners) teach individuals how to correct and prevent undesirable behaviours in dogs. They may specialize in training guide dogs for blind people, working with companion dogs for children or the elderly, training dogs for film shoots, etc. It is a job for people with a calm personality who like animals. This job requires good manual dexterity, rigour and pedagogy.
