I highly recommend this course. Brilliant - open-minded, tackled topics (and our questions!) head on and got us really thinking as well as addressing things. Thanks for making such a big topic ('puppydom') so enjoyable and accessible! I've come away with a boost of confidence!

This was my first IMDT course and my first step towards becoming a qualified dog trainer. To say it inspired me is an understatement- it was fantastic! So insightful, interesting and kept things fun and upbeat during the course of the day. Explained so well, maintained a very active session and clearly made people feel comfortable to have discussions about various topics. I learnt so much and can't wait for my next course now. Thank you so much!!

Absolutely loved this course, really gets you thinking about how a dog develops, loved the fact it was a Zoom course as I struggle to get time to take all the courses that I want to do this way there is no travel time to worry about and Steve gave plenty of opportunity to ask questions and he answered everyone. You get course notes and if anything else is beneficial to the group Steve sent it afterwards.

A great day, packed full of useful and interesting information. The practical application to the practising or prospective trainer is well-considered and carefully integrated throughout, which is invaluable. Mus is a great speaker, always engaging well with everyone and making the material interesting and accessible throughout. I would certainly recommend this course and can't wait for the others that I will be undertaking! Thanks for a great day. :o)

Really interesting discussion of all the background protocols for socialisation, introducing positive exposure to stimuli, and setting pups up for behavioural success . I really enjoyed going through the structure of puppy clases, the training details for each specific behaviour, and the protocols to enable positive experiences and errorless learning for pups (and handlers!). Great tips on puppy home visits , client management, and use of training theory to succeesfully unlock the full spectrum of desirable behaviours with ease.

As always an excellent and informative day, delivered in a supportive environment and in an entertaining and easy to absorb format. Covered everything you could ever wish to know with a good mix of theory and practical. Leaves you feeling confident that you can go out there and make a difference and you leave with new friends and connections to support you in your endeavor. Now I can't wait until the next course on my list!!!

Entertaining and Interesting with lots of useful info. Good mix of theory and practical work. This is the 3rd course I have been on with the IMDT and haven't been disappointed and well worth travelling all the way from Devon for. Looking forward to doing more courses with the Imdt.

If you work with puppies this course is an absolute must. The information is so clear and sympathetic to the needs of a little pup. I loved learning about the different aspects of puppy development and with the practical demonstrations it was perfect. Another IMDT course that I could do over and over again !!!!!!

I'd heard good things about the IMDT and chose this as the first course to do. I really enjoyed the course and wouldn't have thought I could possibly learn so much in just one day. I came away really inspired by what I'd learned and was determined to be part of this amazing organisation. I have since gone on to do other courses with the IMDT and am now proud to say I am a full member. This is a great starting point for anyone who wants to be a really good trainer and, if you do this course, I am sure (like me) you'll be left wanting to do more.
