In-Person Track Course Dates

Here we go!

All VSA Dog Trainer Course students begin their studies the same way: from home via the online portion of the flagship Dog Trainer Course with a dedicated Faculty Advisor. Those wishing to supercharge their learning experience can also add VSA’s premium In-Person Track to the Dog Trainer Course.

This 10-month in-person program includes everything in the standard Dog Trainer Course plus:

  • Two 2-day virtual learning intensives
  • One 6-day in-person learning intensive (locations below)
  • A local professional mentor for shadowing
  • Live Cyber Classes with classmates, Victoria and VSA faculty
  • Enhanced learning assessments
  • VSA’s most prestigious certification designation

Registration in the DTC In-Person Track is open to both new students and to those already enrolled in the Dog Trainer Course.
