Course Curriculum
Hi, I’m Sarah Fisher and the founder of Animal Centred Education.
I've been working with animals for over two decades, and am passionate about sharing all I have learned from the only animal experts that exist.
Animal Centred Education was created in October 2018, but encompasses techniques I have developed or modified, over many years thanks to numerous animal tutors.
ACE Free Work is changing the lives of dogs around the world. This unique approach has become a rewarding way of supporting dogs of all ages thanks to my wonderful canine tutors, Cookie Dough and Henry.
Explore
The first step in ACE Free Work is a data gathering process for you and your dog.
Engage
Once you know what your dog enjoys, and what he actively avoids, you can invite direct engagement with What's This? and Let's Explore.
Educate
As your dog progresses through the ACE Free Work layers, you can start marking and rewarding quiet engagement within the Free Work set up.
ACE Training Club
You can join the ACE Training Club for a one off annual fee and claim a 10% discount on all online courses booked within the membership year.
Please note the discount does not apply to our in-person only events due to the small numbers we take on the practical workshops.
