A comprehensive range of dog training and behaviour courses

Dog Behaviour and Dog Training Courses


Here at the CIDBT, we aim to nurture, develop, grow and assist people to reach the highest echelons in their career. All of our team are truly passionate about people and dogs.

We offer a programme of work-based, hands-on and Home Study courses in dog behaviour and training from the basic to the most advanced. Importantly, all of our tutors work in front line canine behaviour and various dog training disciplines (as well as being academically qualified) which enables them to share the very best and most effective real world information to all of our students in order for them to develop into successful professional practice.

We have a number of academic pathways to follow tailored to your individual requirements, expertly guided by our tutors who know that dogs and people learn better in a fun, motivational and supported environment.

I have enjoyed all the workshop sessions you have been involved in, and I am sure there will be other courses I will be tempted by in future.
Margaret RallingsStudent on CIDBT 4014
If I had to pick out one thing that I feel went particularly well for me, it is the workshop which I thoroughly enjoyed and feel I benefited from.

I thought the day was cleverly thought out and I benefited fully from the experienced tutors.
Hannah GreenowStudent on 4005
I was concerned that I might struggle having been away from the education system for thirty odd years, but the course was constructed in such a manner that each phase flowed smoothly along.
Andrew in KentStudent on CIDBT 4110
It’s been encouraging to know that the methods that we use and thoughts that we have on behaviour and training are shared by others.
Sarah CliffordStudent on CIDBT 4005
I really value the importance of underpinning all practical work with high quality academic study, it improves my confidence so I’m looking forward to completing more modules!
Josie ChurcherStudent on CIDBT 4110
I have found the course to be thoroughly engaging and thought-provoking. I particularly enjoyed the challenge of researching my work, rather than being spoon-fed the answers in the literature.
Avril BrownStudent on CIDBT 4119
I’m looking forward to continuing my professional development with the Advanced Common Behaviour Problems module and very much appreciate being able to participate in this institution.
Kathryn McRobbCIDBT 4102
Having not studied for 30 years, I was unsure if I could study or write up the work required. However, the support from my tutor and clear framework from the CIDBT has been superb.
Denise RootsStudent on CIDBT 4119
Vicky was my tutor for this course and was always there with email support and she always replied very quickly. Phone support was available too if I needed it.
