I’ve just attended the 1 day canine behaviour course -it was excellent . I really enjoyed the course and most importantly, learnt a lot. I would recommend this course to anyone with an interest in dogs,there is always something new to learn. The IMDT presenter was brilliant at explaining behaviours along with cause and effect in a way that is easy to understand.Great use of appropriate video clips that aids to solidify the theory,brilliant!

Brilliant course. I'm pretty good at reading dogs so did this as a refresher. It was so much more than that because I learned new things too. Questions are answered clearly and the whole course is well paced.

This was a very informative and helpful course. I am just learning about dog behaviour and was worried that it would be too advanced for me but all content was explained clearly. The presenter's knowledge and experience was evident throughout the day. The content was comprehensive and very relevant. The IMDT tutor was was happy to answer any and all of our questions and gave tips for personal dog-related issues. There were plenty of breaks to help keep us focused online. I would definitely recommend this course.

I volunteer at a dog rescue and I have been trying to learn about canine body language through observation, reading books on the subject, and asking people who know. The course was fantastic and just what I needed. All my chaotic and fragmented knowledge got organised, upgraded, and solidified, and I learned so much new stuff! Explained in a straightforward, accessible way, and the course content is brilliant. I now have 15 A4 pages of notes to go through again but I will do what my dog used to do when she learned something new - I will sleep on it :) I have just booked another IMDT course - it's definitely money well spent.

A really excellent course. I have had dogs lifelong and often seem to 'know' things about how they are feeling without knowing why - this course has taught me so much about what it is I am seeing that tells me. It was packed full of information, with lots of video examples. The presenter was very engaging and also generous in sharing his wealth of experience. A very worthwhile way to spend the day!

This was my 3rd in person course and 2nd one presented by Alun. Again, I thoroughly enjoyed the course content. Lots of video footage to watch and analyse what was happening for the dog. Alun was very informative and friendly and nothing was too much for him! Can't wait for the 4 dayer in May!

This was a great day full of useful information that was delivered in an accessible and enjoyable way throughout. Mus is a great teacher who really knows his stuff and the video footage was a very useful way of illustrating the points being made, allowing us to engage meaningfully with the many different elements presented. I also want to say that I was really impressed by the procedures that were in place re. covid - everything felt very safe throughout. Thanks for a great day and see you for the next one!

You guys are fantastic!English is not my native language and I still have a lot to learn and you still manage to make yourself understud. You presented every step with various examples and that helped me a lot.Body language was the first course for me but for sure not the last one.

Everyone needs to learn this stuff at school... this course really opened my eyes to all the different conversations dogs clearly communicate through their behavioural repertoires... and how us humans so often let them down by failing to receive or not acting upon their polite messages. Fascinating how physical breed characteristics also cause confusion during interactions between different breeds. A great in depth discussion of the contextual associations we need to review before (mis)interpreting behaviours. And a very useful look at how we can better read our dogs in order to manage environmental stress / over-arousal / aggression, using this knowledge to better teach dogs how to live their best possible lives.

This was my 4th IMDT course and just as enjoyable and fascinating as the others. Delivered in such a relaxed way with good humour and always time to answer any questions and make sure people are getting what they want from the course, whilst staying on track to deliver everything seamlessly and never rushed. The teaching style is excellent (as I have found with all IMDT instructors) and so enjoyable that you almost don't realise how much you are learning.... until you get home and your brain starts processing all this new information!!Cant wait for next month and more courses!!! Thank you IMDT Team.

This was my first course with the IMDT and I loved it! I'm new to the dog training world but I didn't feel out of place at all and Steve's enthusiasm and the course content has left me buzzing and excited to learn more. The course was engaging the whole way through and was presented in an easy to understand way. I didn't want it to end! I am already booked on to another course and am about to book another! Also as a side note, I was really impressed with the lunch provided as I have various intolerance's so bought my own lunch but they had actually provided gluten free lunches and soya milk. Massive thumbs up! I would highly recommend this course and the IMDT!! :)

This course was fabulous. I felt I already had a good knowledge of canine body language but this course made me realise that context and the bigger picture are more important than one single behaviour! Eye opening, fun and well presented. Would highly recommend this course for anybody who has an interest in dogs, works with them or owns a dog that they would like to understand better! Great stuff, thank you

An amazing course led by Steve and Alison, I came away with loads of information and learnt so much. I booked the 4-day course whilst on the back of my experience here over the weekend. Met lots of doggy people and shared experiences. Back to work on the Monday I found myself observing the dogs based on the information I gained. Thoroughly recommend IMDT and the staff to anyone

This course was utterly brilliant and introduces you to the subtleties of dog body language, and how to interpret kinesics that the dog displays and what it means. You really will see a dogs movement and body language in an entirely different way and be able to understand and interact with them so much better. Steve made it understandable, fun and presented it with a lot of humour.

Yet another excellent course from IMDT. A must for everyone who either works with or owns dogs. I learnt so much about what to look for when dogs are trying to communicate with us, things which can be missed if we are not "listening" to them. As always, Steve and the IMDT team were great. An fabulous weekend of courses.

This course was fantastic! I learn't loads when it came to considering the small and quick signals dogs show when trying communicate with us which can easily be missed if you're not listening to them. I now can't stop looking at my dogs... Had a great day with lots of humor. Steve and the team were great. Thanks for a great weekend.

Attended this course this weekend. Steve's presenting is very easy to understand and humorous too which made it very easy to comprehend and more so enjoy. Pablo, pele and Nancy made the day watching their interactions. Now home and I have become my dogs stalkers watching their every move to practice 'reading' them. Great course, very informative in a relaxed atmosphere. Only one observation is the conference seating arrangement made it difficult to see the videos, much better when we moved seats around perimeter of room it gave clear view of screen.

Once you've been on this course you'll never look at a dog in the same way again! There is so much to consider when observing a dogs behaviour and body language and this course uses lots of practical demonstrations and opportunities to observe real life dogs in different environments. Well put together with a touch of comedy thrown in, makes for a fun and informative day.
