Pet Dog Training Instructors Course 2008

Saturday 9th August - Saturday 16th August

Harper Adams College, Newport, Shropshire

After the overwhelming success of the second course last year, this third one aims to build on its achievements!

The "Pet Dog Training Instructors (PDTI) Course" facilitates training in both instructing skills and in addressing the needs of the pet dog owning public. It is committed to improve service standards and continually update to meet the demands of changing times. The PDTI Course fully supports the Kennel Club Accreditation Scheme for Instructors in Dog Training and Canine Behaviour, and in doing so, includes the Kennel Club Good Citizens Dog Scheme within its base obedience exercises. The course also includes the opportunity to explore other canine competition and working activities.

With a packed timetable of practical sessions, tutorials, lectures and discussion times, in our opinion, it is a course not to be missed! With numbers strictly limited, bookings now being received now, so to avoid disappointment you will need to book early!

The PDTI course offers four certificate levels:

1. Introductory Certificate in Instructing
2. Intermediate Certificate in Instructing
3. Instructors Certificate
4. Certificate in Advanced Instructing Skills

Students may discuss options and will be advised as the week progresses as expertise may vary considerably. Each certificate will be awarded at one of the three levels: Pass, Merit or Excellent. Attendance certificates will be given to students who have participated but do not currently meet the standards of the awards.

It runs as a week-long residential course, and costs includes bed, breakfast and evening meals. Dogs are allowed in the rooms when with you. When alone, dogs must be left in a suitable vehicle. (Reduced overnight fees will apply to those taking advantage of camping / caravans / off-site options)
