Our Educational Programs
Registration, speakers, highlights, travel deals, and more!
APDT Certificate Courses are designed to provide in-depth education on specific topics. Students will attend weekly lectures, participate in online discussions with fellow classmates, and work on homework assignments.
Participate live in an upcoming APDT 90 min eLearning course or view a past recording from our archive to learn various aspects of the dog training profession including learning, behavior, health and nutrition, laws and regulations, business, and general industry topics. Enjoy presentations by a wide variety of professionals from around the world.
The APDT encourages all trainers and aspiring trainers to pursue continuing education throughout their careers. In an effort to set a standard for what it means to be a "well rounded" dog trainer, the APDT has developed a Body of Knowledge.
The APDT Chronicle of the Dog Publication
The quarterly The APDT Chronicle of the Dog keeps APDT members abreast of contemporary pet dog training techniques and provides a lively forum for discussion of dog training and behavior issues.
