CAREER AS A DOG TRAINER

A fabulous, fun 2 day course for anyone wanting to further their knowledge about dogs & training.
Thanks Laura & Fiona :)

Loved the 2 day course. Laura and Fiona are fabulous teachers and are both such passionate dog trainers. Definitely have inspired me to want to pursue the following courses and lap up as much information as I can from IMDT to help the doggie community.

Wonderful course to dip your toe into the dog training world. Fun two days presented by Laura and Fiona (along with their helpful assistants human and animal haha). Would definitely recommend to anyone who is thinking of working with dogs in some way shape or form :)

I absolutely loved my first IMDT course. I was nervous as I've not studied for a very long time but I had nothing to worry about because Laura and Fiona are wonderful facilitators who make you feel at ease the minute you arrive. I decided to do this course to learn more to help my "special" dog and also to see if I wanted to pursue further study and become an IMDT accredited trainer. By lunch on day one I realised I was hooked, now I want to do all the study I can so I can help other pet dog owners help their dogs have a happy contented life, and I want to do it in a fear free, postive way. Thank you Laura and Fiona for 2 fun days.

I highly recommend this 2 day course for anyone wanting to learn more about the theory of training. The content you cover gives you an idea if dog training is something you want to pursue and if not, you will still leave with some really important information. Fiona and Laura are two very knowledgable dog trainers and the environment is so open and welcoming! There is no judgment and you will meet people from all walks of life.

Great course, for anyone starting out in training, have been training for a while or working with dogs. It reiterated what knowledge I already had and I learnt lots more and gained new idea's to use in classes. The atmosphere in the class was wonderful everyone was very supportive and the presented made it a very comfortable learning environment. Highly recommend this course!

Natasha

This course was both insightful and enjoyable for anyone considering commencing their career as a dog trainer. The course covers everything you need to know to get started, from the basic theories and principles of dog training, methodology and why, people management, to structure of group classes and 1:1 consults. Fiona and Laura are a wealth of knowledge and experience, bringing amazing energy to the program. A truly informative and delightful experience.

What a fantastic, professional course. Not only interesting and informative, but Laura and Fiona made it fun as well. I can’t wait for the next one.

Absolutely fabulous course! I can't reccomend it enough! It doesn't matter if you are just starting out on your dog training journey or if you've been at it a while, everyone will take away some valuable info from this course! From the science behind how dogs learn all the way through to setting up a business and running classes or consults it covers everything and you get to do some great practical activities a long the way too! It was also great to be in a room with like-minded "doggy people", who all came from diverse backgrounds and experience. The conversation and ideas sharing between everyone was brilliant! To top it off Laura and Fiona are great presenters; friendly and welcoming but also great speakers, clear and passionate and able to get the messages understood across the board. Also a great course for anyone who wants to get involved in the industry but isn't sure what path to take or where to go for support!

Kate

Fabulous course!
Even if you are already a trainer and know a bit about training dogs, this course will completely cement your leaning, the presenter Laura is an excellent speaker and explains concepts in an easy to follow and understand manner. Steve's many videos throughout the lectures are not only entertaining, but help put learning concepts into real situations. Overall an enjoyable course and well worth the weekend! (The border terriers were an extra added bonus!).

2 Day Career as a Dog Trainer, whether you have been in the industry for some time or brand new - everyone can benefit. I wish this course was around when I first started, it was great to have confirmation I was on the right track and I just love being around other dog geeks, getting new ideas from their experiences.

But what can I say about presenters Fiona Cowie and Laura Ryder, IMDT Australia have got their hands on a couple of gems.

Not only are they extremely knowledgeable with years of experience but they want to share this knowledge. It’s evident their love for the industry and animals, they want everyone to excel and willing to share their years of hard work. It’s beyond generous, they really are beautiful people.

Lauren

I have spent an awesome weekend talking training with Laura and Fiona. What great presenter thses ladies are. I encourage anyone to take part in these courses in a supportive and positive environment for learning
