PUPPY UNIVERSITY 1 & 2 WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE
We get lots of questions regarding the puppy university 1 & 2 and what the differences are, so for clarity here is the breakdown.
Puppy university 1 & 2.0 cover some similar information, the primary differences are in the delivery method. Puppy university 1 (five hour class) is a faster paced, high level overview of STSK9 Methodology, it is designed for students who have a good grasp of basic concepts and come from a background of experience working as trainers.
Puppy university 2.0 (four hour class) covers in depth what kind of skills and talents are needed to BE a better dog trainer. The content is delivered in a step by step basis with tutorials geared towards handlers that are just starting out and need a more detailed breakdown of individual steps and movements.
Both courses are full of content and as they are recorded live, there is always differences in how the content and concepts are presented, Students will find value in both courses and while there may be some overlap in concepts you will have the broadest and most complete experience by taking both courses. The Puppy University insights can be applied on puppies and dogs of any age. So not just young dogs or puppies.
