Training

Yes, I am looking to train my dog to be a therapy dog but I can’t seem to find any place in VA that helps them train for the AKC/ Canine Good Citizen test. Any advice?

What kind of therapy are you looking for? Training for you or training for the dog? There is a massage therapy school located in Va. They started with offering equine massage therapy certifications but have added canine certification too.

edit: CGC & TDI exams are given in several places. Training involves basic obedience and manners really. I’m a trainer. The last class of my adv basic classes I have a CGC/TDI examiner come in and do testing for students who wish to be certified. Visit the TDI website for listings and dates of open certification exams that are scheduled. Good luck!

I am 57, due to retire at 60, have been a fully qualified dental nurse (had to give up due to health problems), re-trained as a secretary and earned my living for over 23 years doing that, drifted into elecronics and spent several years doing that before studying and working in employment law. I also worked in trading standards before being made redundant. At various times I’ve worked in an estate agency, local government, property management, and even stacked shelves in a supermarket, all temporary assignments.
On ’signing on’ for work (Job Seeker Allowance) I’ve been asked if I would be willing to re-train, and if not, why not. As what? plumber, brickie, IT, what for heaven’s sake?
I went to Job Seekers ‘cos ageism is alive and well and I can’t get a job doing what I’m qualified to do.

If I can’t get a job when I have lots of experience, what chance after doing another training course with no experience in that field?

Why don’t you tell them that? If they can’t find you a job that you are trained for then they aren’t very good! I think "I’m retiring soon so it wouldn’t be worth it and I am already very qualified" is a perfectly good reason under the "if not why not". Anyway, would training for something else be so bad? Ialways get bored with jobs once I can do them!!

I’m on JSA, and they have never asked me if I’d like to re-train. But they are always changing the rules. Just say "yes", you would be willing to re-train – but don’t say any more than that.
A lot of their questions are loaded, if they can avoid paying you or making life difficult they will.
You have to show them that you are flexible and willing.

All the courses want you to follow their methodology, but I already have an idead about the methodology I would like to use.
I agree about taking some sort of courses and I really appreciate the suggested reference books. But that is what has frustrated me…all the courses seem to be a…do this…then this…and that.

I definitely would like more information on learning styles and thought processes. I have a degree in health education and some background in psycology as well. I just don’t see the value of the formula methodology.

Life coaching is unregulated so you can just start. I guess if your methodology is in the idea stage then you will have had no input into effective communications or dealing with individuals in the way that THEY want to develop rather than the way you want to develop them.

If you think about it your method will work effectively but only with people who want to develop the way you do – and that can be a low percentage. You need to have knowledge of all developmental strategies to be a great coach. With this knowledge you can facilitate development for all your clients in the way that THEY want to, which is very effective.

I agree with your thoughts on some coaching courses, remember they are unregulated as well. I have picked up a good handle on this stuff from educational psychology, educating adults and NLP. Each swear the other has no bearing on each other but I am a practitioner and I know they all mesh.

As a start I would look at learning styles by Honey and Mumford, Transactional analysis by Eric Byrne and representation systems from NLP, when you get a handle on these I know you will start to see the bigger picture. You can find info on them all at

The fact that you have asked this question shows you are well on the way to becoming a coach and I wish you all the best.

Perhaps theres some at a local University or something? I’ve been looking around, but have mostly just found courses located in Ontario. If anyone knows of any courses available in Halifax, please let me know! Thanks.

The Nova Scotia College of Art and Design typically runs a continuing education course on this from time to time, in the $250 range. This is likely one of the best in the area, and is done on Mac. Check out the website link for NSCAD below.
