About us

We are the Association of Pet Dog Trainers Australia Incorporated
– a national association of professional dog trainers and others involved in the dog community throughout Australia.

We are committed to building better trainers through education. Our members are bound by our Code of Ethics to use force-free training methods only and to encourage the general public to adopt these methods through education.

If you need help with your dog or are looking for an experienced trainer, use our Trainers Directory to find someone to help you.
