“The National Dog Trainers Federation aims to provide a channel of communication for all dog trainers, breeders and pet owners resulting in education and mutual support.”

 

The National Dog Trainers Federation is proud to offer the Canine Behaviour Specialist Course.

This program is structured specifically for persons wishing to specialize in canine behaviour problems and behaviour modification techniques.

The program goes far beyond teaching the basic principles of how to be an obedience instructor. It is designed to educate participants to make accurate diagnosis, appropriate treatment plans and to provide them with the tools necessary to deal with canines displaying a vast range of behaviour problems.

This specialist program will only be offered once per year and places are strictly limited.
