This badge signifies the completion of the course It Takes a Team: Key Collaborations for Effective Animal Training Programs.

Who else needs to be at the table to help reach your training goals? Training often doesn’t happen in isolation, nor should it. Whether you’re preparing for a complex medical procedure, coordinating for emergency response, or supporting conservation outcomes, success often depends on collaboration.

This course explores how training goals are achieved with others: veterinarians, engineers, educators, consultants, and more. Sometimes collaboration means seeking support for a specific challenge. Other times, it’s about building something bigger together, a shared goal that no one role could accomplish alone.

Through real examples from the field, we’ll look at how to align shaping strategies with the needs, insights, and expertise of your wider team. Explore practical ideas to enhance communication, strengthen plans, and clarify roles, ensuring everyone works toward the same behavioral outcomes.

Discover why effective training programs take more than one voice, and why that’s a good thing.

This course takes 1 hour to complete.
