Why choose a PACT accredited trainer?
Finding the right dog trainer can feel overwhelming with a number of options to choose from. Here at PACT we aim to give you peace of mind that you’ve made the right decision for you and your dog.
Here’s why choosing one of our trainers is an excellent choice:
Industry Leading Professionals: All PACT trainers have been taught and assessed to the Animal Behaviour and Training Council (ABTC) professional role standards. This means that all PACT Dog Trainers have met or exceeded the only professional standards recognised by leading organisations in the sector, including Vets and the UK’s leading animal welfare charities.
Positive Training: PACT trainers focus on positive reinforcement to help your dog learn. This approach is kind and effective, prioritising your dog's well-being and ensuring appointments are fun for all.
High-Quality Skills: These trainers have passed a rigorous assessment of their skills and knowledge. They are also committed to continuing their education, so they’re always current on the best practices in dog training.
A Dog-First Approach: PACT trainers take the time to understand your dog’s unique personality and needs. They'll create a training plan that works for you both, helping you build a strong, positive bond.
Accountability: PACT trainers follow a strict Code of Practice, which means you can trust you’re working with a professional who is held to high ethical standards.
Insurance: To ensure that you have complete peace of mind and to ensure our members are competent and accountable professionals, our full members are required to have a suitable level of professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
By choosing a PACT-accredited trainer, you can be confident that you're working with a skilled, ethical, and compassionate professional who is dedicated to helping you build a strong and positive relationship with your dog.
