40 years Instructor and Chairperson of a successful Dog Training Club. 18 years involvement with KC Good Citizen Dog Scheme, including demonstrations at Crufts, Approved Examiner of the scheme and Assessor for "would be" Examiners. Obedience competitor (past) and Obedience Judge, involvement most weeks judging or as Chief Stay Steward.  I feel the PDTI is the way forward to encourage handlers to be responsible totally for their pets, so that they are acceptable in society.
