Calendar Next available session starts May 19, 2025 at 6 pm, runs for 8 weeks

This isn’t your typical dog training class—it’s a course in how dogs think.

Beyond the Treat is an immersive, hands-on journey into the psychology of how dogs learn, communicate, and respond to training. Over 8 sessions, you’ll explore classical and operant conditioning, learning theory, dog body language, and clicker training. 

Led by certified canine behavior consultant and educator Tadhg Irving, this course is perfect for dog owners, shelter volunteers, veterinary professionals, or anyone who wants to build a deeper, more thoughtful relationship with dogs through the lens of science and empathy.
