Program Variety

There are a variety of training programs available, from intensive residential courses to video correspondence courses. Listed below are some of our members' schools. The choice you make will most likely be based on your needs and your personal circumstances.

Hands-On Practice

Bear in mind that some schools give considerable hands-on practice in training and instructing in a practical way. These schools may prepare you more thoroughly than those which offer only written coursework and/or dog training lessons.

Important Notice

Please remember that although these learning sources may provide you with a solid foundation in dog training and instructing, NADOI in no way implies or suggests that completion of these courses will guarantee your acceptance by NADOI as a Certified Member.

Certified Membership requires passage of our Certified Application examination. You must meet our minimum experience requirements before you are qualified to take the exam.
