The Kennel Club proudly announced the reaccreditation of its Accredited Instructors scheme by City & Guilds for the seventh consecutive year, reflecting its commitment to maintaining superior standards in dog training and behaviourists.
The scheme aims to ensure dog owners have access to highly skilled and knowledgeable professionals who offer quality training services and advice.
The purpose of The Kennel Club Accredited Instructors is to establish a comprehensive network of dog training instructors and behaviourists with proven expertise, skills, and experience. Recognised as the first and only scheme for these professionals, it has secured programme accreditation from City & Guilds, a globally-recognised hallmark of quality.

David Phillips, MD City & Guilds, expressed delight in reaccrediting the scheme. He said, “The scheme is now in its 7th year, showing The Kennel Club’s commitment to training and those undertaking it.
