Education

Did you know the dog training industry is completely unregulated?! There is no industry standard to adhere to, so it's vital you choose your trainer carefully. 

At 4 Seasons, I take great pride in developing my knowledge by regularly attending courses, webinars, reading and constantly updating my education. I am a proud 'Gold Member' of the Pet Professional Network (see below), and am happily spending my retirement fund on new materials to make me a better coach! The more you know....(usually highlights even more you don't yet know!)

I have undertaken rigourous testing with both the APDT and IMDT, and proud to say I passed both assessments first time. 

They both require you to have a thorough understanding of canine behaviour, learning styles, motivation, testing theroy and practically in a real time class environment. 

I am an Approved Kids Around Dogs Instructor, and will be expanding services to offer specific family based teaching later this spring, with the exciting new Kids Club, and a Canine Hoopers World Instructor too.
