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.
