Training is a skill we need to learn.
Teaching animals is not magic, nor common sense. It’s a combination of science and practical skills we need to master.
Don’t worry if you don’t know where to start!
I have prepared this course for you. I will guide you through the foundations of training. Step by step journey for anyone wishing to learn more!
Too often, we end up in a position of being teacher and learner at the same time, because we hadn’t had a chance to work on our mechanics, clicker skills, delivery patterns before we started working with our learners.
This course is a compendium of knowledge and practice for animal trainers. Focusing on the scientific approach to animal training we will cover ABA (applied behavior analysis) principles and how they resonate with what we do with animals, we will cover the mechanics and techniques of teaching behaviors!
It’s a perfect place to start your training journey, but it is also an appropriate course for more advanced students who want to geek in the depths of thoughtful training. Get ready for discussions, practical exercises, and thorough insight into the animal training world.
Throughout six weeks of online learning, we will cover:

Trainers toolbox
I would change the name of the course "Handler's must have toolbox" :D
This course is soo much packed with knowledge content as well as practical homework tasks that I really feel I improved my practical and theoretical understanding of Teaching, learning, methods and how to apply them into practise. I am super interested in dogs training methodics and science behind it and Agnieszka have a great gift for explaining it. Every lecture was very interesting, nice to read and easy to "digest". What was super important for me- theory met the practise. There was lots of movies when Agnieszka presented exercises, methods, so I could see how things works.
As a premium student I had the pleasure to work directly with Agnieszka on homework tasks as well as tasks not covered directly in homework- as always course was very much individualised and adjusted to our needs. I must say this course was not easy- required lots of effort from me- many things I needed to practise before without Fredzio...and another gain was that I understood the value of my-trainer skills and mechanics.
Writing from my perspective and previous tromplo courses, this one was perfect continuation of "attencion please".
I truly recommand both!
10/10 This is the best dog training course that Ive ever attended to. Everything that I learned here is based on the scientific evidences and highly ethical. The feedback was always very good and really helpful, so I definitely recommend buying the premium access.
I can’t wait for next courses with Agnieszka and the team.
This is one of the best course I've ever attended. It gives you an insight into all the amazing tools a trainer has to teach with passion and quality. What I love the most is the presence of videos that explain what it's written inside the lesson, they really make everything clear! I found some teaching methods that were not in "my toolbox" and I thought that maybe they were not suitable for me and my dog... I was wrong. I just had to go out of my comfort zone and follow Agnieszka's guidelines! Agnieszka is an amazing trainer, what a pleasure to watch her videos!! She is really supportive, she helps you but, at the same time, she gives you the chance to develop your potentials. She is a real pro, I love the fact that she incorporates science in her lessons, it is indicative of her professionalism. Having said that, let me tell you the only problem you have to face... you can get addicted to this course!! :)))
