Lead the Way Institute

The advanced visiting/therapy/school dog preparation course is suitable to begin once your dog has visiting dog certification with Lead The Way and has been actively working as a visiting dog for at least three months. This course is designed to give you a specific intervention model and to increase your dogs ability to listen and respond reliably under a range of higher level distractions off lead. Online theory will need to be completed prior to the three practical days. The practical days will be completed live online or in person with Lead The Way training instructors. Each practical day will be spaced approximately one month apart. By the end of the FULL three day advanced visiting dog course you can start preparing your dog to be ready for the level 4 course and advanced certification assessment*. *Candidates will need to attend the level 4 course and certification assessment in person (Melbourne, Victoria).
