We are delighted to announce that Tara Choules, Lisa Whelan and Laura Jennings have been awarded the CCPDT certification (Council for Certified Pet Dog Trainers). After a lot of study and practical work we sat the four-hour exam at Dublin Institute of Technology, Kevin Street earlier this month.

CCPDT

The CCPDT is an international testing and certification program for professional pet dog trainers.
The CCPDT’s certification program is based on humane training practices and the latest scientific knowledge related to dog training. Competence and continued growth in training practices is promoted through the recertification of qualified professionals.

We are the only Dog Training Company in Ireland with trainers with this certification. It is a huge honour and privilege to be awarded the CCPDT certification as it is independently assessed and only awarded to those who have an excellent understanding and experience of Instruction Skills, Animal husbandry, Ethology, Learning Theory and Equipment.

For more on the certification and what it means to you as a dog owner please go to www.ccpdt.org

We pride ourselves on our high level of education, certification and deep understanding of canine learning, behaviour and training.

    Congratulations to you all Tara, Lisa and Laura
    Well this hardly surprises me having had first hand experience of DTI over the years.I have seen them excel in everything they do through hard work and dedication to dogs and owners alike. From the fun side of training Dogs and humans to the more serious side of behavioral issues you can be sure your in safe hands with DTI.
