It is designed to build upon an existing knowledge of canine behaviour and human interactions but provide a much greater depth of understanding, that goes way beyond the subject matter.

Course reviews
"I am undertaking the Professional Dog Trainer course with DoGenius. I have focussed on dog behaviour for the last couple of years and had not really thought I wanted to take dog training lessons until I discovered this course. The content of the modules, and the feedback from my tutor is amazing. I have learnt so much already, the course is making me really open my mind and I want to do more and more research - its addictive!
It is well written and at a level that makes it enjoyable, but not easy! Highly recommended".

Sonia is a Certified Canine Behaviourist with ICB. She also holds a range of training qualifications and is an ACE Associate Tutor and a City & Guilds Scentwork Instructor. She has many years of experience training both dogs and their humans; helping to build strong trusting relationships. In particular, she specialises in dogs who’s behaviour stems from being overwhelmed by the intensity of their lives. Both ends of the lead need to work together in these cases, and Sonia has the expertise to support the challenge of building trust and finding harmony. Sonia has built up a successful business working mainly online, based on her success across this wide range of canine disciplines. She herself is supported by Harry, her friend and teacher who himself has displayed a number of behavioural challenges since puppyhood, which they have mostly overcome together. Sonia’s commitment to teaching and learning is ongoing, so her knowledge is both current and expanding.
