Pet Dog Training Instructors (PDTI) was founded in October 2005, as a not-for-profit organisation, with the aim of providing practical and assessment opportunities for Instructors and Advisors who provide (and training for those wishing to provide) companion training services for pet dog owning families.  

2010 saw the PDTI formally register as a company, limited by guarantee, promoting education further and supporting continued professional development

PRACTICAL COURSES

These popular residential courses are run annually for both experienced and new Instructors and Advisors. New and prospective Instructors (with a love of dogs and a desire to help people) are able to gain practical teaching experience in a safe and friendly learning environment, whilst the more experienced are able to gain assessment awards to reflect the higher levels of their practical instructing expertise  more...
 

THEORY PROGRAMME

A separate and optional theory programme was launched in 2010, aligning to the practical awards. Starting with a Level 1 Responsible Dog Care Certificate, through Level 2 and 3, leading to the opportunity to register with Harper Adams University College to achieve Level 4 Credits, on to a Level 5 University Diploma in Canine Training and Behavioural Management  more...

For more information, please see also Overview of Courses. In addition, all PDTI courses provide evidence for, and support the Kennel Club Accreditation Scheme for Instructors in Dog Training and Canine Behaviour (KCAI).

PDTI MEMBERSHIP

According to national meetings held over the last few years between the various canine industry, professional, veterinary and charity organisations, formal qualifications and professional memberships are suggested as a likely requirement for all Instructors and Advisors in the not too distant future.  

The PDTI now provides graded membership, learning opportunities and assessment awards to meet the expected standards for any future registration.  more...
