Enrolling in this course will reveal the depth of knowledge and skills needed to understand dog psychology and training, which are essential for anyone seeking a career working with dogs. This course is perfect for those with a strong passion for dogs who are interested in starting a professional canine career.

You'll learn how to confidently communicate with dogs by understanding their thought processes and learning behaviours. You'll also delve into common behavioural problems and disorders, and develop positive training approaches to tackle them. With essential knowledge on different dog breeds, their anatomy, physiology, and brain and hormonal systems, you'll progress through each module and explore professional dog obedience training techniques such as the Koehler method, motivational training, and clicker training.

This course teaches you how to apply these techniques to correct problem behaviours such as chewing, jumping, barking, and other destructive behaviours. You'll be amazed at how much there is to learn about dog psychology and training and how crucial this knowledge is when embarking on a professional canine career. The course opens up many rewarding animal careers, such as working as a dog trainer, animal welfare specialist, pet sitter, or dog groomer.

Microsoft Office 2013 adds new capabilities and a new look to the features of Office 2010. In addition, Office 2013 lets you store and work on your documents "in the cloud," making it easier to work from different locations and to share your work with others.

Word 2013 makes working with tables easier than ever, with new border choices and a new easy way to add rows and columns.

In this lesson, you'll learn about new Word reviewing features that make this faster. We'll explore Office apps, which help you extend what you can do in the program. You'll also learn that Word 2013 features the ability to open PDF documents so that you can edit them right inside of Word. Last, we'll look at file compatibility.

Finally, we'll look at new animation features that let you create custom animations more easily.

Access 2013 has one big new feature: It lets you create Web apps, which are online databases that other people can open and work with using a Web browser. In this lesson, we'll do a quick review of Access and then create two Web apps. You'll need Access 2013 and a SharePoint server address, which you can get by signing up for a free trial of an Office 365 subscription.

In this lesson, you'll look at the most important new features in Outlook 2013, including improvements to the email, contacts (now called <em>people</em>), calendar, and tasks areas.
