Horrible company and learning material

Horrible company and learning material is just regurgitating essays with everything you can learn for free I tried to cancel my subscription because I am pregnant and suffering badly with HG which has effected my life and they refused to even let me cancel and are still taking money out of my account till this day I ve tried cancelling through the bank and they continue to dispute and take my money even though I m not part of their course program They were extremely unhelpful to my situation and seem to just be a money making scheme like all other dog courses out there If you are into dog training just buy books practice with dogs and have safe morals You do not need any certification unless it s been through a safe scam free educational system Do not buy into these courses

Scam and lame - Useless positive only rubbish

Once again I feel I have to mention that The ISCP is NOT a proper place for anyone to learn about Canine behaviour or training They continue to deceive people into thinking they can finish one of their courses and go out to work with dogs in real life Even though they changed management things have gone from bad to worse Their Facebook group is full of people or shall I say graduates who haven t got a clue about what they are doing with their clients dogs This is very dangerous What they are doing is causing permanent damage to dogs through their naive good intentions of using positive only methods that do not in any way fix the issue This is a money making scam Do NOT fall for it Avoid any school that preaches positive training only because dogs are not humans and they need someone who is not afraid to discipline them Contrary to what they spout the dogs do not get traumatized by discipline Quite the opposite They learn from experience and go on to lead good and happy lives These people who call themselves tutors haven t got a clue about discipline I believe most are childless mothers too You are better off watching the Dog Daddy or Cesar Milan videos on you tube which by the way is condemned by these useless and inexperienced tutors

Took over a year to complete their

Took over a year to complete their Level 5 Equivalent Diploma in Canine Behaviour When I was completing it I was a force free professional and had been for years Last year I began to come away from just ff methods and began using all quadrants Now I no longer can say I have a diploma with this organisation and it was basically revoked I bought the diploma per unit so probably spent about 1700 or more and just because I changed my methods it was revoked People go to prison with qualifications and don t have their qualifications taken away from them I actually left a review with this organisation earlier this year but I see they flagged it up and the review was hidden Clearly they just want people to see the positives only

self directed learning

I signed up for the ISCP had a time of it 3 changes of tutor in all lockdown bereavement hospitalisation job loss house move It was hard to put the necessary hours in for months at a time I spent a lot of money on books webinars extra tutorials to give myself a thorough understanding of the terminology and theories you need to work with animals at a professional level self taught is not good enough Owning dogs even big dogs even 5 dogs is not good enough You must know about Learning Theory how domestication utterly changed the wolf There s a good dose of neuroscience to understand why dogs we behave the way we do You must be able to think critically and be able to construct essays to argue your point of view with reference to applicable research You must be able to structure your timetable and set up a habit of study if you re going to complete The tutors will help if you are really lost but you must put the work in just like at a bricks mortar college nobody is going to remind you to study remind you to put the hours in or give you a multiple guess form and an achievement certificate My level 6 essays took 4-6 wks each 20 essays my dissertation took me 101 hrs to design undertake write up a 50k word piece of original research You could buy the minimal reading list get access to free online studies you don t need to spend thousands to pass these courses I did waste a lot of money buying top rated dog training books off amazon top rated does not mean top quality Too many of the popular books are written by people who couldn t explain who Skinner Thorndike or the Brelands are or how operant conditioning is different to respondent conditioning While these are not practical dog training courses they will give you a thorough grounding in the science behind animal learning This is a crucial jumping off point whether you are fostering training professionally or just want to understand your own dogs better The tutors have their own dog businesses they are not actually just book learned Anyone who tells you that dogs just need corrections has not got a good foundation of learning they are making it up as they go

Studied level 6 Advanced diploma in

Studied level 6 Advanced diploma in canine behaviour with the ISCP Fully supported by my tutors I had two in the 2 years it took me to complete the course Ownership also changed twice from when I started Although there were changes the tutors were fully supportive course work was marked quickly and email responded to within a few days The course work was thorough informative and thought provoking with plenty of suggestions for additional resource s There are also a private Facebook groups with other students and tutors so you never feel isolated Enjoyed the course very much The ISCP promotes Force free fear free ethics And a high standard of education for professionals and caregivers

Grateful ISCP Graduate

Back in 2021 I earned my Diploma in Canine Behavior with the ISCP and along with it the title Certified Canine Behavior Practitioner This was through their online learning This program included the textbook which was mailed to my home online learning essays and research Instead on focusing just on training it was focused on the whole dog including stages of development fear and anxiety body language medications and behavior enrichment and so much more I really got a sense for the holistic part of training and grew even more compassion for dogs by understanding them at a deeper level I enjoyed my education with the ISCP and used it as stepping stone in making my business and becoming a professional in the dog world
