I learned valuable information about dogs. I can better understand the thought processes of my own dogs. I really like that the lecture slides were provided after the lectures, so I could review them.

Great course with a lot of new information, not just about dogs but even domestication of other species, including humans. The predictability of aggression in humans would be an interesting next topic

This course was a complete disappointment. The topic itself is great and could have been presented in an engaging and informative way, but the organizer clearly had no interest in that. Instead, the only real focus was on promoting and selling their own info-products, which were advertised constantly. If you remove all the self-promotion, the actual content of the course would take about two minutes. The lecturer jumps from topic to topic - from human psychology to animal psychology and random ideas - resulting in nothing but filler and 0% useful information. The course was advertised as being specifically about dogs, and I expected the lecturer to stick to the objectives stated in the description. Unfortunately, that did not happen. If I could give it -1 stars, I would. A total waste of time and money.

good content, and good teacher, but Coursera managed to screw up the delivery: the training started on the 18 of August (you could not enrol prior than that), lasts 8 weeks and the final assignment due date is on the 6th. of September, so you are set for failure, and this why I will NEVER pay for their courses.

Basically you are due the final assignment one month BEFORE the last lecture, so either you rush and do 2 or more weeks of lectures every week or you cannot complete the training AND making the assignment. Just for the lazy ones: 16th of August + 8 weeks is 11th October. So, word of advice: do not pay for the course hoping to have a certificate or you will waste the money

Too much emphasis on a misguided belief in the religion of Darwinism. Focus more on real scientific evidence of dog behavior, and the course will be much better.

An extended sales pitch not a course!
