Meet Our Team

All our trainers are qualified and accredited with specialist fields.

Did you know that our industry is unregulated and you can call yourself a dog trainer with no professional qualifications? With so many quick online courses available, we only accept trainers who have completed the in-depth APDT qualification and successfully completed all their practical assessments.
