Welcome To NDTF
The National Dog Trainers Federation (NDTF) is the National representative body in Australia for dog trainers from all fields. The Federation was established in 1993 in response to the recognised need for a representative and educational organisation for the dog training industry.
NDTF looks to provide our students and the general public with the appropriate resources to help them train their dogs as well as improve their well-being and health. Have a look at our blog for some tips and tricks on building a better relationship with your animal

Before you make the commitment to bring a pup into your home, it’s important to do your research and find the perfect dog for you. Too many animals end up with the RSPCA because their owners weren’t capable of looking after them. In this article, we’re going over some important traits to consider when choosing a dog.
As pet owners, we’re always happy to share our meals with the demanding puppy at our ankles. Some food is better for dogs than others, and some food should be completely avoided. In this article, the experts at the NDTF are breaking down the most nutritional snacks you can give your four-legged friend.
Observing the dog training industry there are no grey, or colourful areas, in terms of the ways in which trainers asses and develop a dogs behaviour. Ideas that were deemed contemporary are no longer “modern” as everyone is adapting the same training style; however, there is always a show when it comes to Canine Connect.
Every trainer comes into their own after becoming certified with us, and so they should. This is something we feel Kacie has done amazingly well as she is constantly explaining how over the years she has met many trainers both domestically and internationally that align their training philosophy with her own, in which she feels is very important.
Every trainer is different in the way they approach their expertise, and after talking with Kacie Gauld from “Kacie’s Puppy School” we discovered how important this is.
Kacie has built a long-term relationship with us, as we first come in contact with her many years ago, completing her Certificate III in Dog Behaviour in Training as a Distance Learning student. We got back in contact with her recently as she became a part of our Find A Trainer Service, and recently opened her new business. We discussed all areas of the industry from extending her knowledge on an international level, and her development as a trainer to opening her puppy school and her opinion on the role of child awareness when it comes to them interacting with the dogs around them.
Continuing on from our previous post with an experienced trainer and business owner Brydie Charlesworth, we asked her for her outlook on being a business owner and if her experience with The National Dog Trainers Federation helped her in any way.
