Training is an essential part of looking after a new dog. When looking for help in dog training whether classes or individual lessons do look for classes run by members of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT) – using “kind, fair and effective” training techniques for dogs (and humans too!) with a commitment to continuing their professional development to keep up to date with new advice and techniques.

NOTE – techniques based on punishment that are painful or scary to the dog (from the dog’s view point) are not appropriate.  We would be cautious of advice based on ideas of dominance or pack leadership.

Behaviour Consultants

Qualifications, experience and approach of behaviourists vary widely – some using out of date inappropriate techniques can cause more harm than good. Those with the biggest marketing presence are not necessarily the best! Ideally choose from those who are members of the –

• Association Of Pet Behaviour Counsellors – APBC
• UK Registry of Canine Behaviourists – UKCB
• Or have done nationally recognised and respected behaviour courses ideally to degree level plus have the practical experience and are members of nationally recognised professional organisations.
