The SUNY Cobleskill Canine Training and Management Program is seeking dogs for its canine classes, and enrollment, training, and daytime care are all free of charge. Dogs should be at least one year old (some exceptions are made); can have little or no training; must be social to humans and other dogs, and; must be current on typical vaccinations.   

Temperament tests are performed with dogs prior to their acceptance into the program. Once accepted for the spring semester, dogs may daytime board at the Campus Kennels (space dependent) or commute from home to each class at specific times of day. Interested dog owners should contact Instructor/Coordinator Kyle McCraith at mccraikj@cobleskill.edu.   

SUNY Cobleskill’s Bachelor of Technology degree program in Canine Training and Management is the only program of its kind in the country providing a comprehensive canine training and management curriculum. The degree prepares students for a wide range of professional opportunities, including working dogs, service dogs, and therapy dogs.   

The SUNY Cobleskill campus is home to dedicated canine-specific training facilities, and the College supports a student-run canine club.
