PDTI is a membership organisation,
registered in the UK as a not-for-profit limited company.
Now in our 21st year, we continue to develop professional standards for those delivering dog training & behaviour services to pet-owning families.

At the heart of PDTI is our commitment to: 
* on-going professional growth and skill development
​* maintain high standards of assessed practical competence
* evidence-based, science-led training and behaviour protocols
* invest in our instructors to ultimately improve positive, holistic
and rewarding outcomes for the dogs and the families they advise

To this end PDTI activities include:
* a graded membership recognising experience, knowledge & achievement,
championing self-motivated Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
* an annual Conference hosting experts in dog training & behaviour
* our annual residential 'Instructors Assessment Awards' Course
* educational, teaching and activity 'Workshops'
