Testimonials
Is it possible to see any comments from people who have completed the courses?
I have been training dogs for more years than I care to think about. These days experience counts but clients want to know that you have the theory and understanding behind that experience. This is where the courses run by the ADTB come in, apart from giving you structured information they also draw on that experience and test that you have taken on board the knowledge at a suitable level. You can follow these courses at your own speed, the time scale is in your hands. I can highly recommend these courses.Rod Rose
DearJenni. I have just finished reading "What makes Dogs Tick" for the 5th time. I've made my whole family read it too. It's really well put together and really makes you realize just what you have to consider as a dog owner for the benefits of your dogs health, and the different responsibilities as a dog trainer. I am really happy with the insight it has provided so far and just wanted to say thank you.Amber Thomas
I would like to give my opinion on the ADTB courses. Since starting them in September I have completed the first two courses and have been very impressed. Initially I was slightly worried that they might be too academic for the likes of my good self to get my head around but actually I have found them to be extremely thorough and detailed with loads of practical tips and interesting course material. Lots of support is on offer if it is needed. I am looking forward to continuing to the next level in the near future and I would heartily encourage anyone who is considering taking the plunge to DO IT!Paula Aitken
I'm Malcolm Hewitt I started my ADTB courses in early May 2005, I have just finished the Gold course and I am being assessed on Friday 4th November, 2006 at my own club PAWSITIVE DOG TRAINING which I started in June with my Daughters help. Regarding the courses they are very well laid out and the information is brilliant. I have learnt so much and I thought I knew a lot about dogs before. Also with Jenni in charge you feel it´s like a one to one basis she is so helpful.Malcolm and his daughter are now fully Approved ADTB Instructors
