Coronavirus Update

Many of our members are working hard and taking their dog training online to help to support you with your dog at this difficult time.

Even though we are all in isolation, please get in touch with your local APDT member below to find out how he or she can help you with your dog during the pandemic.

APDT members undergo a rigorous assessment of both theoretical and practical knowledge and are committed to using kind, fair and effective training methods when teaching dogs and their owners. All members work in accordance with a Code of Practice which prohibits them from using aversive training methods.

The APDT promotes training skills and techniques based on up-to-date, researched methods that are in keeping with modern learning theory.

Members provide education (via pet dog training classes and one-to-one lessons) to the dog owning public.

The APDT support and cooperate with other organisations in any activity that will add to the body of knowledge of canine training and behaviour, and offer information and courses to educate our members, subscribers and the general public.
