Overview

Dog training is the process of teaching dogs a specific set of behaviours or skills using various techniques and methods. Training can include basic commands such as "sit," "stay," and "heel," as well as more advanced skills like agility and search and rescue. Proper training not only makes life easier for dog owners but also helps dogs to be happier, healthier, and more well-behaved pets.

One of the most important aspects of dog training is understanding the psychology of dogs. Dogs are social animals and have a natural instinct to please their owners, which makes them highly trainable. However, they also have individual personalities, fears, and preferences, which require a skilled trainer to understand and work with. Successful trainers must be able to communicate effectively with their dogs, understand their motivations, and adjust their methods as needed to achieve desired results.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
