Dog Training and Behaviour Modification Principles

Gomes develops the principles behind training before considering how to structure a session. Classical and operant conditioning lead into reinforcement, emotional responses and learning effects. The course connects concepts with practical planning, making it useful for understanding why a method is used rather than only copying a sequence of cues.

What you will learn

• Distinguish conditioning and reinforcement concepts
• Review emotional responses in training
• Plan sessions around observable learning goals

Who this suits

A fit for dog guardians or developing trainers who want a conceptual foundation and are prepared to observe the individual dog’s responses rather than pursue a fixed training deadline.

Before you enroll

No previous training or behaviour-science experience is required. About two hours and six minutes of video are listed, updated December 2024. This is education rather than individualized behaviour assessment or a professional license. Persistent fear, aggression or sudden behaviour changes need appropriate qualified support rather than an unsupervised generic exercise.

Udemy offers paid purchase or subscription access depending on the current course and region. Paid teaching courses provide completion certificates under Udemy’s policy. Check current access terms and any separate software or material costs before enrolling.

Put it into practice

Write a small training plan for a familiar, comfortable skill. Define the cue and observable response, keep sessions brief, and record what happens without changing several parts of the plan at once.
