Finding an instructor Instructors are dog training or behavior consultant members of the PPG who have passed the PDA instructors exam. They have undertaken to abide by the PPG guiding principles of force-free training and are willing and able to help you achieve your PDA goals.
You will find an international Instructors Directory on the PDA website.
Finding an assessor PDA assessors have proven to the PPG’s satisfaction that they have maintained their practice within the PPG guiding principles and have passed the assessors examination. Assessors can both instruct the PDA program and assess candidates. Your assessor must maintain continuing education in the field of force-free dog training and behavior and is subject to reassessment of the rules of the PDA program and the PPG guiding principles every two years. You will find an international Assessors Directory on the PDA website.
Practical assessment If your dog training instructor is a qualified PDA assessor, approach them about assessment. Ensure that your instructor believes that you are ready to undertake assessment.
