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. In over 8 sessions, you’ll explore classical and operant conditioning, learning theory, dog body language, and clicker training. 

Led by a 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.
