IABTC founder is Angela White. The center is in Haxey which is near Doncaster.
I did the Instructors course in 2012, I was eager to learn more. I did it again in 2015. I passed both times with merit.
It was a challenging five day course, we were being assessed the whole time. On the last day a group of people and dogs came to form a class for us and we each had a slot to teach.
The course also provided information on health and safety in classes and on dog laws.
It was thoroughly enjoyable and very worthwhile. It shaped the way I teach my classes and put me on track leading up to my KCAI assessment.
Afterwards there was a detailed theoretical assessment to do at home and send in.
I still keep in touch with some of the other students on those courses through social media.
I have done many other courses at IABTC including clicker and target training up to level 4 which means I am qualified to teach it.

QIDTI
Qualified International Dog Training Instructors.
This organisation was founded by John Rodgerson and his International associates to recognize Instructors who have demonstrated the requisite level of dog training instructing.
As a member of KCAI I meet the required standard which means I can be a member of QIDTI which I am very happy to be.
I've always had a dog in my life, they know so much about us and give us so much, I believe we such take the time to learn about them, how to communicate with them, learn about their body language, what makes them happy, what upsets them, what they need. Once you understand the dog that knowledge will do so much for the relationship between you and your dog.
I enjoy going to fun dog shows with my own dog, I am not very competitive but if there is a fun obedience class I will enter it.

I have a Compass education diploma in Canine Behaviour and Psychology achieving a distinction.
I have a Advanced Diploma in canine behavioural management.
I have passed a behaviour modification practical course at the IABTC with a distinction.
I have attended a course and have a certificate from the Derbyshire Canine Center on the subject of instructing dog owners in the positive reinforcement and behavioural method of training.
- working trails CD
- How to get the best from your gun dog
- Tracking and nose work for fun
- Canine first aid
- Basic Agility for Instructors at the International Animal Behavior Center
- Canine nose-work workshop including tracking, searching and scent discrimination.
- Treibball.
- IABTC clicker and target training level 4. Meaning I am qualified to teach Clicker and Target training.
- IABTC Puppy training
- IABTC aggression in dogs
- IABTC reactivity in dogs



These certificates and experience mean I have good knowledge of how dogs learn, how to communicate with a dog, and the best way to train them.


I can show you lots of fun and interesting activities to do with dog, for example how to get your dog to find things for you, how to track with your dog, how to get your dog to retrieve and other things you and your dog will enjoy.
It's a lovely job and very rewarding especially when I see smiley faces and wagging tails.
