Certification By Caninology Inc.

Students must successfully complete all the prerequisites before applying for testing for a higher level of certification. Courses need not be taken in any order, but the prerequisites must be fulfilled.  It is not the intention that all courses should be taken through Caninology:  the outline we present is one which we feel will allow each student to practice at his or her full potential. Based on previous education, students wishing to challenge a particular course may do so by contacting the course office.
