LEVEL FOUR 12 Months Behaviour Consultations and Functions of Behaviour

Although this course was quite a labour of love and many many hours of learning about a surprisingly wide range of subject areas, I did feel quite disappointed when I successfully completed it.... so after a very short rest I signed up for L5... hopefully that says everything about how great this course is! It massively boosted my knowledge about and confidence with consultations, behaviour modification, all the vital aspects of control

Great course, I have learned so much. Great tutor help and positive, constructive feedback.I can not rave about it enough, on a high at the moment because just got my pass for the whole course, it is difficult so be prepared to put in the work but well worth the achievement.

Tracey

I loved this course so much. Really interesting content and the workbook exercises guided you perfectly through putting theory into practice.

Julie Irving

Excellent and informative course with solid tutor support. A useful blend of both the human and canine side of behaviour consultations along with safety and management. The course covers neuroscience, physical drivers, emotional aspects and styles of learning amongst a myriad of other insightful topics. The perfect course for anyone starting off in behavioural consultations or as a refresher for those already established

If you're considering which course/provider to go with to continue learning canine behaviour, I defintley recommend this Level 4 correspondence course. I've tried other distance learning courses before without success, but having just completed this course and passed is testament to the IMDTB's approach that will get you there if you commit. All the information you need is provided, along with guidelines for word counts for each question and the important deadlines to keep you on track to complete the course. Tutor feedback on each unit is excellent and incredibly useful. You'll also get the opportunity to meet with tutor, Dave Brice, in person when attending lectures or seminars that complement this course. I highly recommend you do so, as I believe the information provided at these attendance days really aided me to achieve better marks. Having been away from written study for nearly 20 years, the confidence boost this course has given me to continue pushing on with my further education in canine behaviour is everything, not to mention invaluable when dog training. Don't hesitate to book on this course you'll thank your self for it later.

I've really enjoyed doing this course and I feel so much more confident about being a trainer now. It's not an easy course particularly if you haven't done any formal study for a while. But the support and guidance from the tutor really helps you to understand exactly what is needed. The subjects are really interesting and thought provoking. I'm looking forward to Level 5 now.

I have just completed this course which I have to say I have really enjoyed, it was a challenge, especially for some one like me who has been out of the education system for some time but I had fantastic tutor support which certainly kept me going, all my questions were answered and the feedback has been fantastic ,thank you Dave Brice . The course itself has helped me expand my knowledge and now feel I have a better understanding of canine behaviour, I highly recommend this course !!!

Really valuable course. Excellent standard in both course syllabus and support offered. Dave Brice is a fantastic tutor with a seemingly bottomless wealth of knowledge.

Rachel Quigley

Amazing 12 months of learning and education working with likewise professionals and interacting and gaining support from highly knowledgeable tutors such as Dave Brice who's wealth of knowledge in these more difficult areas is second to none. A course that makes you think, absorb, understand and put back into practice the best to help and support every dog we work with. Well worth the time, effort and focus if you are keen on progressing in the Behavioral world.

Jason Evans

Great course, loads of important info and IMDT team always 5star

An excellent course which greatly expands one's knowledge and understanding of canine behaviour and the various approaches and interventions to deal with problematic behaviours. A thorough scientific approach, covering drives, emotions, neurochemistry, pharmacology, diet, genetics and more.Dave Brice is an excellent tutor, encouraging questions and discussion (at the weekend tutorials) without judgement as well as being available for support via email if necessary. The learning becomes somewhat addictive as the more you learn, the more one finds there is to learn (that SEEKING drive!). A follow-on course would be something I would love to do. I highly recommend the course for anyone interested in working with dog behaviour issues. Although I still feel I have much to learn, I am so much more confident having completed this course.

Carrie Bates

This course gives you a thorough and practical understanding of how a dog's mind works, how to interpret what drives behaviour and emotional responses and therefore how to establish the most appropriate and effective behaviour modification programme for each and every dog. In conjunction with the classroom IMDTB courses Dave takes you through every corner of a dog's brain with his usual compassion, empathy and humour. Highly recommended for anyone encountering behavioural issues during their work with dogs.

Heather Witty

An excellent well structured course with varied content, that covers so many areas that are essential in today's behavioural arena. I would recommend this to anyone who is entering the behaviour world and wants to really understand how we can help. The excellent David Brice is a masterful knowledge base and leader.

Jason evans

Highly Recommended for anyone working with behaviour cases. This course is a really great way to develop your skills and put the science and practical knowledge we have into context. It compliments the IMDTB courses and I would recommend doing this and the IMDTB courses in tandem. Be prepared to do a lot of study and research, as the knowledge and information you will get in return will benefit everything you do with your clients. The course is extremely well written and managed, the course tutor gives great feedback throughout which will drive you to the next level.
