Guild Philosophy
 Our
vision is to be the leading professional body for Dog Trainers in
Britain today, representing members in dealings with all local and
government institutions, the media as well as the general dog owning
public.
The Guild of Dog Trainers has been founded within the tradition
of dog training in Britain today. It provides a forum through meetings
and training courses to bring together senior representatives of
all sectors of canine education to encourage discussion and the
exchange of views.
The Guild motto is "Balanced, Intelligent Dog Training", and seeks to express a commitment to continued
professional learning of the behaviour of dogs and their complex
relationships with people.
