IMDT 4 DAY PRACTICAL INSTRUCTORS COURSE

The best 4 days you can have! I have no dog training background just a simple pet owner who got hooked on training. The 4 day course is so much fun and you learn so much!! I was very nervous but with the help and support from the fellow students, Laura and Fiona I was able to run my own 20 minute class by day 4 (something I have NEVER DONE). I would highly recommend this to anyone just starting out or even to someone already in the industry as you learn so much! Thankyou so much for an amazing 4 days!!!

The best 4 days!

The 4 day practical course is everything you need to run successful doggy classes including your confidence being boosted if you are a nervous Nellie like me ! Over the 4 days you get to practice taking lots of classes and breaking down different training excercises ! As well as lots of fun training doggies during the classes! The Ladies at IMDT are amazing at building and boosting your confidence and the group of students you learn with are so supportive of each other ! You start off with an example lesson plan and lesson from one of the lovely ladies at IMDT ! You start by introducing your name and what you are teaching on day 1 and by day 4 You have the tools and knowledge to run a successful 20 minute class. Please if you think you cannot do this because you struggle with confidence it is a safe space to learn and thrive ! On day 1 I did the worst possible thing you can do and got nervous and blanked in front of people Steph and Fiona were fabulous at helping me remember so I could continue and because I felt safe in the environment I grew in confidence more and more ! I thoroughly enjoyed this course and Fiona and Steph went above and beyond to help you thrive ! If I could do it every week I would !

With the support of the wonderful IMDT trainers Laura and Fiona, I dove head first into this course and loved every minute even though at times I was very nervous. The course title lives up to its name - there really is 4 days of practical training. You don't jump straight in to presenting to a group, Laura and Fiona step you through it and help build your skills and confidence over the course. Their support, encouragement and guidance are what set you up to succeed overcome the dreaded nerves and fear of public speaking. To my fellow students THANKYOU. Your support and encouragement really helped make this an awesome course. I come away with a wealth of knowledge, a new group of friends and a bunch of "notes" to boost my confidence going forward, and remind me of how far I'm come.

This course was a lot of fun!!! I learnt so many ways of training different behaviours and how to turn simple training into something fun! This course definitely helped me build up more confidence especially when trying new things and stepping out of my comfort zone. Everyone in the course is so supportive and Laura and Fiona have a world of knowledge to share.

Amazing course! I learnt so much from the IMDT team and have found some new confidence for incorporating some fun new ideas into classes. The feedback is invaluable and the other trainers made for a supportive and uplifting group!

As a total beginner to the dog training world i was really nervous about doing this course and I'm not going to lie day one was a real struggle . Being around so many knowledgeable people I questioned wether or not I belonged in the course - BUT by day 4 I confidently gave a full 20 minute class! I can't recommend this course highly enough the wealth of knowledge I have taken away from Fiona, Laura and all the other people on the course is amazing :) and I'm looking forward to doing all the other courses!

Thanks again for all the support and encouragement especially when I thought I couldn't do it - Sian
