Now that is the question!
As many of you are aware at Dog Training Ireland are APDT certified. This means that our certification was gained from the APDT in the UK. We were assessed by an APDT assessor and gained our certification. Our registered certified numbers are 00853 and 00854. To be a member of the APDT in the UK one must keep up with training and personal development. The certification is renewed yearly and all trainers must abide by the APDT code of ethics.
One can also gain certification by paying on the internet to the APDT in the USA www.apdt.com
There is no assessment criteria for this as it is simply membership of a group. While this is benefitial from a learning point of view it bears no reflection on the trainers ability and many training companies use with without displaying their number.
So when you are looking for an APDT trainer you must be sure that they display their membership number as MAPDT and that they are listed here www.apdt.co.uk/trainers_area.asp?area=Ireland%20-%20Southern
Also the black and white registered LOGO for the UK APDT is displayed on their website www.apdt.co.uk.
Irish Registered UK APDT Members are:
Tara Choules
