Raising Canine was the first business to provide a wide variety of remote courses and seminars to the professional dog training field. These courses provide high-quality, science-based information from a variety of speakers for consulting, as well as established principles for running a business. Raising Canine also has an on-line school for professional dog trainers wanting a quality education. The professional dog trainer course provides in-depth education in the principles of learning and behavior, as well as the practical areas of training and running a dog business. Raising Canine Today Raising Canine’s goal has always been to provide quality education, products and services to professionals. We have solidified that goal through the creation of a mission statement that keeps our goals in the forefront of our minds, at all times. Today, Raising Canine is still the largest and best known remote education service within the animal community. We continue to provide cutting edge information to trainers and consultants, as well as dog owners. Even today, with our vast understanding of behavior and learning, there is still much misunderstanding of this subject within the training world. Raising Canine feels that all animals should be treated humanely and with the most advanced techniques available, and it is our goal to disseminate that information to animal professionals.
