SPEAKERS& TRAINERS
Commando Kennels has been at the helm of K9 education in India since 1997! Our phiolosophy has always been to give our students tangible benfits and to train them hands on. We do not believe in 2-4 day seminars, which are conducted by "celebrity" faculty, rather we hand hold you and ensure there is proper skill transfer and understanding of the subject.
​
At Commando College of Dogs and Trainers, we believe in the science of animal behaviour and dog training. We are not about personalities and people. Our trainers and speakers are not just experts with animals, they also have years of experience in teaching people to train animals. Indepth subject knowledge and experience in teaching makes this the best team to train you !
