The Kennel Club Accreditation Scheme for Instructors in Dog Training and Canine Behaviour

Welcome to the Kennel Club Accreditation Scheme for Instructors in Dog Training and Canine Behaviour, the first and only Scheme in the UK for Instructors to be approved by City & Guilds NPTC!

For the first time in the UK, instructors involved in teaching dog training and advising on canine behaviour will have the opportunity to gain a nationally recognised, credible and externally verified qualification. Dog owners and dog training enthusiasts will also benefit by having the reassurance of a national standard to ensure that they are provided with the best quality advice and service.
