association of pet dog trainers
London
APDT members undergo a rigorous assessment of both theoretical and practical
knowledge and are committed to using kind, fair and effective training methods
when teaching dogs and their owners. All members work in accordance with a Code
of Practice which prohibits them from using aversive training methods. The APDT
promotes training skills and techniques based on up-to-date, researched methods
that are in keeping with modern learning theory. Members provide education (via
pet dog training classes and one-to-one lessons) to the dog owning public. The
APDT support and cooperate with other organisations in any activity that will
add to the body of knowledge of canine training and behaviour, and offer
information and courses to educate our members, subscribers and the general
public.
