On 1st October 2005 the Pet Dog Training Instructors (PDTI) was formally founded, as an organisation aiming to set standards and provide assessment opportunities for instructors and advisors who provide, or training for those wishing to provide, companion training services for pet dog owners. The PDTI runs an annual course for individuals to gain recognition for their current level of instructing skill. New or prospective instructors (with a love of dogs and a desire to help people) will be able to gain practical teaching experience in a safe and friendly learning environment. Those with more experience will benefit from valuable peer contact, not just picking up more techniques, but discussing and justifying ideas, as well as honing and analysing personal instructing skills. Certificates are awarded for proven competence and achievement, which will, in turn, provide further support for club and personal public training services. The PDTI course team consists of experienced instructors whose training expertise covers many decades of pet dog training and problem management, together with wide ranging involvement in many canine activities including competitive Obedience, Breed, Agility, Flyball and Gundogs. The course supports the Kennel Club Accreditation for Instructors in Dog Training and Canine Behaviour and refers to the Kennel Club Good Citizen scheme as a solid basis for Companion Dog training in the UK. Each year with the valued feedback from the atendees, the course is committed to improve and adapt to new requirements and developments.
