Dog training has come a long way over the years. Science progresses, our knowledge grows, and we learn and change the way we do things as a result. With more people than ever owning dogs, there is so much scope to make a real difference in the lives of people and their dogs. Most dog training focuses on changing dog behaviour. Concept training recognises that behaviour is driven by emotion, and so the focus is to change the dog’s emotional response. The concept trainer teaches concept games. They get real life results because they shape the dog’s brain. Arming dogs with the tools they need to cope with the world, and they have fun while doing it! Teaching concepts such as impulse control, management of arousal, focus, optimism, calmness, and boundaries, as opposed to behaviours such as sit and down, teaches the dog to think, to make good choices and encourage them to want to work with you. The relationship improves and the results just flow. Playing games with a dog teaches concepts and actually shapes a dog’s brain to continue to make great choices!

heathers happy hounds

My name is Heather Dugdale and I am a local lass who has always loved animals, especially dogs and horses.  My Grandfather had a small holding in Kilwinning where he bred Clydesdales and Springer Spaniels,  so I think it’s definitely in the genes.  After many years of working with the Council as an IT Technician I decided to start studying dog behaviour and science based training in the hope that I could become a Dog Trainer when I retired, lucky enough for me I was given the opportunity to take early release (sounds like a prison sentence!) and follow my passion . In 2017 I gained an Ofqual recognised level 4 Diploma in Canine Behaviour Management and Training from Animal Jobs Direct,  and passed an Animal Behaviour and Welfare course from the University of Edinburgh,  successfully completed a Dog Emotion and Cognition course with Duke University and  went on to assist a fully qualified Kennel Club Instructor with her Canis Dog Training Classes which where invaluable,  and gave me the hands on experience I needed to start my own classes. I continued my education and became a member and accredited trainer with the IMDT , having passed my exam with a distinction in 2021.  I gained membership of the APDT in June 2023, which is a highly valued organisation in the Professional Dog Training Industry,  and with this rigorous exam came the opportunity to be listed on the ABTC register, which is a Council that sets and maintains standards of knowledge and practical skills needed to be an animal trainer, training instructor or animal behaviour therapist and is used by shelters and vets.    At present I am also a member of the Kennel Club,  and my club is listed for the Good Citizen Award Scheme, which is probably the most well-known training scheme in the world,  but you don't need to sit any exams,  just have fun training and if you change your mind as you become more confident,  why not go for it!  so if you would like to find out more then please visit  https://www.thekennelclub.org.uk/training/good-citizen-dog-training-scheme/ [https://www.thekennelclub.org.uk/training/good-citizen-dog-training-scheme/] . I also provide 1-2-1 training for those people who need to set their own timetable. In the near future I hope to become a Kennel Club Accredited Instructor for both Companion Dog Training, assistance dogs, and the Good Citizen Award scheme,  this kitemark of quality and excellence is also highly valued in the Dog Training Industry.   In the distant future, I hope to become a fully qualified behaviorist and add this to my list of services.    I think training should be fun, and I believe happy dogs make for happy owners, and that’s why I chose the name Heathers Happy Hounds.  So come and have some fun!

qidti

The QIDTI Association was founded by John Rogerson and his International Associates to recognise Instructors around the world who have demonstrated the requisite level of professional instructing and or advising skill, personal expertise and understanding of canine training and behaviour The QIDTI Association works on a voluntary basis, encouraging all Instructors to gain the international standard set by the QIDTI Award. All those that meet that standard are invited to join our membership listing as a 'Qualified International Dog Training Instructor' for free to promote it, and those that wish to promote our aims and or work towards meeting that standard may join as a Supporting / Student member. The QIDTI Association supports 'national registration', and considers formal 'Affiliation' with the 'Registration Council for Dog Training & Behaviour Practitioners' (RCDTBP) is the way forward, to protect the public from what is currently an unregulated industry. The RCDTBP was officially founded to hold and manage the registers of Signatories to the nationally agreed 'CAWC Dog Behaviour & Training Code of Practice (2010). The CAWC Code was developed through a series of meetings organised by the Companion Animal Welfare Council (CAWC), following the publication of a national report on dog training & behaviour services in the UK (2008). The Code was agreed by the many industry dog training, behaviour and welfare groups concerned, as a workable document to regulate and improve canine services nationally, with the aim of uniting all individuals and industry organisations under it.
