The importance of CCPDT certification

Anyone can call themselves a dog trainer. FAR fewer become highly accomplished industry recognized professionals. The leading independent testing and certification organization for dog trainers and canine behavior consultants is the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT). The CCPDT sets the global standard for rigorous exams that demonstrate expertise in humane, science-based dog training.

To become certified, you must first show documentation of hundreds of  hours working with clients and clients’ dogs, then pass a strictly proctored, objective, 180 question examination, must abide by the code of ethics, and must update your education regularly to remain highly proficient in dog training best practices.
