5 Tips to Choose Effective Dog Training Courses

Recommended Answer:
The International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC) does not provide certification for beginning dog trainers. Applicants must meet minimum educational and experiential qualifications for Associate or Certified membership (see http://www.iaabc.org) that isn't required for Supporting membership.

In the UK, check out www.compass-education.co.uk for online courses.

The Association of Pet Dog Trainers, UK www.apdt.uk is another source for training courses.

Successful Dog Training Tricks

• I'm a professional dog trainer in the US. I'm not familiar with doing it in the UK. However, I would suggest you get a certification from the IAABC (The International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants). Look for a local trainer to mentor you and ask how they did it.


• There is no official course of study to be a dog trainer. If you feel a particular school has something to offer you, attend it.
