Guild of Dog Trainers Professional Development programme
There are certain skills you need to begin a career as a Dog Obedience
Trainer or Instructor. The Guild of Dog Trainers in association
with the Cambridge
Institute of Dog Behaviour & Training have put together
the first University Dog Obedience Trainer / Instructor Certificate
which helps you learn conveniently and at your own level and pace.
We feel privileged to have been asked to help with this organisation:
National Dog Training Instructors Certificate
This certificate is for all instructors within the obedience disciplines
training puppies or adult dogs. So if you’re a club trainer,
a puppy school trainer or a professional dog trainer, old or new,
this certificate will formalise your experience with a nationally
recognised qualification.
The following three modules make up this qualification and you will
be issued with a certificate from the Cambridge
Institute of Dog Behaviour & Training.
Essential Skills in Puppy Training CFBA1001
A practical and theoretical course in all aspects of puppy training.
Class and school instruction and management of people together with
their puppies.
This exciting course develops your knowledge in increments and,
for those who already instruct, enhances and turns experience into
a formal qualification. Learning and sharing new ideas.
This is a work-based programme that includes self-study, analysis
and evaluation of information and ideas. There is a mandatory one
day workshop which is a core element of the module.
Essential Skills in Basic Dog Training CFBA1002
A practical and theoretical course in all aspects of basic dog training
in a class environment. People skills are critical to imparting
good information as they are the conduit to the dog. How to organise
and manage many people and their dogs whilst training to a successful
standard is what this module is about. We supply a number of adult
dogs and their handlers for this course. We also include dog handling
and training skills.
Common Canine Behaviour Problems CFBA1102
Through this film-led distance learning module, delegates will gain
an understanding of the complex array of common canine behaviour
problems. We look in-depth at the problems presented to a Canine
Behaviour Practitioner and the causes, compounding factors and solutions
to those problems.
This is a work-based programme that includes self-study, analysis
and evaluation of information and ideas. This module is completely
distance learning based with no workshop days to attend.
You do have to have experience to attend modules at university level
and therefore the certificate is designed for people who have at
least 6 months hands on experience in dog training, private, club,
school or other similar level. You can however, study around your
current work schedule making these courses flexible.
Should you decide after completing these modules that you wish
to progress to a Degree or HE Diploma with Middlesex University,
the CIDBT can advise you how to convert them to accredited modules
to count towards your higher education qualification.
