The Accredited Pet Gundog Instructor Programme
As more and more owners of gundog breeds are following The Pet Gundog books and are realising that the dog they share their home with is not just capable of so much more, but also needs so much more, Pet Gundog training has become very much a specialism in its own right.
As owners are enjoying training their dogs following the books and seeing the benefits of doing so, they are looking for trainers who specialise in not only gundog training, but in training the Pet Gundog.
And so, in 2016, the originator of it all, Lez Graham, created The Accredited Pet Gundog Instructor® programme which has been designed to develop the cream of the crop in dog training instructors.
As an Accredited Pet Gundog Instructor® you will, upon completion and after the 18 months of intensive training, not only be proficient in pet dog training, you will have the knowledge to continue to spread the word that pet gundog training can be positive, motivating and enjoyable!
You will also be proficient in all aspects of training a gundog, as well as, to name but a few…
- Mechanics of movement
- Canine Anatomy & Physiology
- Canine Nutrition
- Equipment design and usage
- The psychology of the gundog
- Common canine behaviours
- Session planning
Only a select number of places are available on each intake and successful applicants will, upon completion of the training programme and successful assessment, either be Accredited Pet Gundog Instructors.
With its monthly Zoom sessions and online chat this is so more than a training course: it is a comprehensive, fully integrated mentoring programme which embraces the highest standards of teaching, training and learning.
This programme offers the opportunity, through personal commitment, to reflect on and share expertise with other likeminded professionals, to learn from and be inspired by the very best in the industry; it is a career opportunity, unique to individual trainers to grow and achieve excellence.
Throughout the programme Lez Graham will be teaching and mentoring in her unique style and, while being ably assisted by Richard Reeve and Christine Collins, will prepare you to set up as a highly skilled APGI running your own Accredited Pet Gundog training classes for which you’ll receive a comprehensive training package.
As part of this programme you will be able to achieve not one, but two AIM Group Level 3 certificates; one in Canine Nutrition and the other in Canine Training and Behaviour, and, when combined with the Accredited Pet Gundog Instructor knowledge, you really will be at the top of your profession.
Lez was pivotal in the development of the National Occupational Standards for Canine Professionals and, as such, you can rest assured that the quality and the level of education you will be receiving during your learning journey will be second to none.
As well as having a Professional Practice Masters degree in Canine Behaviour & Psychology, Lez holds a City & Guilds in Adult and Further Education Teaching Certificate.
So, if you’re serious about being a successful dog trainer and are passionate about all things gundog then this is an opportunity to train with the best.
