Training

ISTRADOG training is built on the experience of professionals who have been working for over twenty years in education, educational design, and the development of professional figures in the canine sector.

However, we believe that training is not only about studying theory.
It means learning how to work concretely with dogs, with people, and within real-life everyday contexts.

For this reason, our programmes combine theoretical lessons, hands-on experience, observation, fieldwork, and mentoring, with the aim of building skills that are truly applicable in professional practice.

Whether you want to turn a passion into a profession, deepen your existing skills, or start a new career path in the canine world, ISTRADOG offers practical and theoretical courses focused on the main professional roles within the human–dog relationship field.
