“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 Canine Management & Control Program has been specifically designed with the role of By-Law Officers, Vet Nurses, Kennel attendants, in fact any profession that deals directly or indirectly with dogs in mind.

It covers a detailed introduction to canine psychology and behaviour and will provide the skill knowledge to enable personnel to deal with a wide variety of situations.

When dealing with, or handling dogs, your personnel need to be able to assess a situation and decide on the best course of action available to all concerned. This situation is even more critical if the dog is fearful and/or aggressive.

ü Psychology of behaviour
